Equipment

  • Here’s what I use to whip up this tasty dish:
  • Large skillet or wok for stir-frying.
  • Cutting board and sharp knife for chopping.
  • Measuring cups and spoons to get the portions just right.
  • Mixing bowl for marinating the chicken.
  • Spatula for stirring everything together.
  • With these, I'm all set to make a delicious meal.

Ingredients
  

These are the yummy ingredients I use:

  • 1 pound of chicken breast sliced into thin strips
  • 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil for cooking
  • 1 cup of coconut milk for that creamy flavor
  • 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger grated
  • 1 cup bell peppers sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • Salt and pepper to taste

These fresh ingredients help create a flavorful stir-fry!

Instructions
 

I follow these steps to make my Coconut Chicken Stir-Fry:

  • Marinate the chicken with coconut milk, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger for at least 30 minutes.
  • Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the marinated chicken to the skillet. Cook until it's no longer pink.
  • Toss in the bell peppers and broccoli. Stir-fry until the veggies are tender but still crisp.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything to coat well with sauce.

Serve hot over rice or noodles for a complete meal.

    This is the fun part—watching it all come together!

      Notes

      I love playing around with this recipe:
      Switch up the veggies like carrots or snap peas for extra color and crunch.
      If you like it spicy, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the chicken marinade.
      For a thicker sauce, mix in a teaspoon of cornstarch with coconut milk before adding it to the pan.
      These little changes can make a big difference. Enjoy making it your own! 😋
