Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook until fragrant.
Add the beaten eggs and scramble until cooked.
Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet.
Slice the avocado and gently stir it into the skillet.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cook for another 1-2 minutes until everything is heated through.
Serve hot and enjoy!

Tips for Avocado Chicken Stir-Fry

Keep the avocado pieces fairly large; very ripe avocado can break down into a paste when stirred.
A wide skillet or wok helps the chicken brown rather than steam; avoid crowding the pan.
The chicken should be opaque throughout with no pink center. The avocado should remain soft but hold its shape.

Drink pairing

A dry sparkling wine
Its lively bubbles complement the creamy avocado and balance the savory chicken, egg, garlic, and ginger.

0% option: Sparkling water with lime

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and use within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot; the avocado may soften further.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell when the chicken is cooked through?

Cut into the thickest strip: it should be opaque throughout with no pink center. Thin, evenly cut strips cook more consistently.

Can I make this ahead?

It is best freshly made, since avocado can soften and darken. You can cut the chicken and prepare the garlic and ginger shortly ahead, then refrigerate them separately.
