A colorful and nutritious stir-fry made with a variety of fresh fruits, vegetables, and lean chicken breast, perfect for a quick and healthy meal.

Steps

  1. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger. Marinate the chicken slices in this mixture for 15 minutes.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry until cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, stir-fry the vegetables until they are tender yet still crisp.
  4. Add the cooked chicken back to the pan. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Serve the rainbow chicken stir-fry over cooked rice.

Tips for Rainbow Chicken Stir-Fry

  • Keep the vegetables in similarly sized pieces so they cook evenly while retaining some bite.
  • A wide skillet or wok gives the ingredients room to sear; crowding can make them steam and soften.
  • Have the rice ready before serving so the stir-fry can be enjoyed hot and the vegetables stay crisp.

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and use within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot; the vegetables will be softer after storage.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell when the chicken is cooked?
The slices should be opaque throughout with no pink center. Cut the thickest piece to check.

Can I prepare anything ahead?
Slice the vegetables and mix the sauce ingredients ahead, keeping them covered in the refrigerator. For best texture, cook the stir-fry shortly before serving.

Why did my vegetables turn soft?
A crowded pan or prolonged cooking can soften them. Use a roomy pan and stop cooking while they still have a slight crispness.
