About this recipe

This refreshing and flavorful turmeric ginger chicken stir fry is perfect for a quick and healthy dinner. Infused with anti-inflammatory turmeric and ginger, it’s not only delicious but also packed with nutritious vegetables. Serve it with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approximately 1 pound), thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon turmeric powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. 1

    Combine the turmeric, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil in a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Add the chicken slices to the bowl, ensuring they are evenly coated. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Add the chicken and stir-fry until golden and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  5. 5

    In the same skillet, stir-fry the bell peppers and onion until tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes.

  6. 6

    Return the chicken to the skillet, mix with the vegetables, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

  7. 7

    Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.

Chef's tip

For additional flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lime juice before serving. Substitute vegetable oil with coconut oil for a hint of coconut aroma.
