Scallion Chicken Stir-Fry

A quick and flavorful Asian scallion chicken stir-fry featuring tender chicken marinated in soy and oyster sauces, cooked with aromatic scallions for a savory and slightly sweet dish perfect over steamed rice.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless chicken thighs, skin removed and cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 bunch scallions (green onions), white and green parts separated and thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup water or chicken broth

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine chicken pieces with soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, black pepper, and cornstarch. Massage well and let marinate for at least 5 minutes.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the white parts of the scallions and minced garlic to the pan and stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the marinated chicken to the pan and cook, stirring frequently, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly crispy, about 6-8 minutes.
  5. Add the green parts of the scallions and pour in the water or chicken broth to deglaze the pan and create a light sauce.
  6. Stir everything together and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and the scallions are tender but still bright green.
  7. Remove from heat and serve immediately over steamed rice.

Notes

Using chicken thighs adds more flavor and tenderness compared to breast. Separating the scallion whites and greens allows for layering of flavor and texture. Adjust honey for sweetness to taste.
