Sweet chili chicken ingredients
Chicken
Flour
Cornstarch
Salt
White pepper
Canola oil
Broccoli
Sweet chili sauce– I use my homemade Sriracha Sweet Chili Sauce for this recipe but you can absolutely use store-bought sweet chili sauce.
Tips for an even quicker stir fry
- Use precooked chicken. Save even more time and use precooked breaded chicken chunks or ready to eat grilled chicken. Defrost them before using.
- Use frozen broccoli. Frozen broccoli is a total time saver. I defrost it then pat it try before adding it to the wok. Otherwise, you could blanch fresh florets before using them.
How to Make Sriracha Sweet Chili Chicken Stir Fry
Start by seasoning the chicken with salt and white pepper. Then blend the flour and cornstarch together to coat the chicken pieces. Heat the oil in a wok over medium heat. Fry the chicken in batches until golden brown.
Drain the oil and immediately add the broccoli to the wok. Toss the broccoli for 3-4 minutes until it begins to brown slightly then add the cooked chicken.
Pour in the sweet chili sauce. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes before removing it from the heat.
