Tips for Spicy Arabic Chicken Stir-Fry

Slice the chicken and vegetables to similar thickness so they cook evenly in the short stir-fry.
Cook in a wide pan without crowding; excess moisture can make the vegetables steam instead of developing browned edges.
The finished chicken should be opaque throughout, while the peppers retain a little bite.

Drink pairing

A crisp, dry rosé
Its refreshing acidity complements the savory chicken and peppers without overwhelming the garlic, ginger, and spices.

0% option: Sparkling water with lemon

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and use within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell when the chicken is done?

The slices should be opaque all the way through, with no pink center; avoid overcooking, which can make breast meat dry.

Can I prepare anything ahead?

Slice the chicken and vegetables shortly before cooking, or cover and refrigerate them separately for up to a day. Keep raw chicken separate from ready-to-eat ingredients.
