Ingredients
- 2.5 pounds chicken tenders or boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil plus more for griddle
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 14.4 ounce frozen stir fry vegetables or fresh stir fry vegetables
Honey Garlic Sauce
- ½ cup olive oil
- ½ cup honey or pure maple syrup
- ½ cup rice vinegar
- ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon granulated garlic
for serving
- 2 green onions green parts, sliced for optional garnish
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped, optional for garnish
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds optional for garnish
- cooked rice or noodles
Instructions
- Slice the chicken tenders into thin strips. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup olive oil, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil and granulated garlic. Set it aside.
- If using frozen stir fry vegetables, rinse them under cold water to remove ice crystals and help them cook evenly.
- Preheat your Blackstone griddle over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil to coat the surface.
- Place the chicken on one side of the griddle and the vegetables on the other. Cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F using a digital meat thermometer and the veggies are tender-crisp.
- Transfer the cooked chicken to the bowl of sauce, toss to coat, then return the chicken to the griddle for a few minutes to allow the sauce to caramelize and cling to the chicken.
- If you’d like extra sauce, whisk in a bit of cornstarch to the remaining sauce and simmer in a small pan over medium heat for about 1 minute, until thickened.
- Serve stir fry over cooked rice or noodles. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro, green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
- Stove Top Directions: Cook in a wok or large skillet coated with olive oil, following the same method.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheating: Reheat in a skillet or microwave until warmed through. Add a splash of water or sauce to keep it from being dry.
