I’m always up for a new chicken recipe, especially one that’s fairly easy. I’m also a big stir fry fan and use my wok often. I have several stir fry recipes in my arsenal, and this one just got added to the permanent library.
Now it’s right up there will my Sesame Chicken.
This makes a delicious gravy and the ingredient list is short and simple. The only adjustment I really made was to use some dried ginger I had instead of fresh ginger. Everyone enjoyed this and there were no leftovers.
Besides, I got to use one of my pretty garage sale plates for the pics! :)
Chicken and Scallion Stir Fry

Print It Pin It Rate ItIngredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 3 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 10 scallion stalks
Instructions
- Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips about 2" long. Add the cornstarch and chili powder and mix well. Set aside.
- Mix together the chicken broth, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and soy sauce. Set aside.
- Wash and dry the scallions well. Cut off and discard the root ends, then slice the rest of the stalks into 2" to 3 " pieces. Set aside.
- In a wok or skillet over high heat, add the canola oil. Heat oil on high until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken, garlic, and ginger, and stir fry until chicken is no longer pink, about 1 to 2 minutes. Stir to prevent sticking.
- Add the chicken broth mixture and cook for another minute or two until almost half of the liquid has evaporated and the remainder forms a thick sauce. Add the scallions and toss together for 20 seconds. Remove from heat and serve over warm rice.

Tried your stir fry today and it was really really good. I never found a recipe that had enough liquid for that kind of sauce, but yours was perfect. Will make it again, thanks for sharing. :-)

Sounds (and looks) simply delicious. I make something very similar, something I found on Martha Stewart's website, and its a great dish.

Hi, Amanda.
This stir fry looks wonderful!
I'm new to your blog (and have yet to start one of my own), but I find myself checking in on your posts often. I made your watermelon cookies for two cookouts we attended this weekend, and they were a HUGE hit (you got all the credit, of course). Sooo thanks for the idea! :D

Ooh, I LOVE that plate! Stir frys are awesome. I'd go with broccoli since I have a strong adversion to onions, but we love a nice sauce!

Love you new/vintage plates! I too have had to swap out fresh ginger for dried when I don't have it. The results are still fantastic. Love this recipe :)
