Honey Chicken Stir-Fry

This is an easy, tasty recipe. By following various suggestions made by reviewers, lots of needed flavor is added to the dish. To the marinade add an additional Tablespoon of honey, 1T garlic chili sauce & fresh ginger & 2T orange juice. We also increased the marinating time to approx 45 minutes. (Tip: Store fresh ginger in the freezer. It’s a snap to grate – no more strings!)

I thought this was very good, but I did make a few modifications. I used fresh vegetables instead of frozen, and added some fresh ginger to the soy sauce/honey mixture and I used three cloves of garlic instead of one. I also squeezed in a fresh orange as suggested by another reviewer. When I make it again, I think I will add another tablespoon of honey. I also added some crushed red pepper flakes and a few dashes of fish sauce. I will definately make this again, the kids loved it too.

This was a really good stir-fry recipe. I made a few changes that I felt really improved it so am giving it 4 stars because I don't think it would be as good as written. I used shrimp instead of chicken, added some fresh ginger, used a little bit of rice vinegar, and then at the very end tossed with a small amount of sesame oil. It turned out fantastic. My Chinese husband was very impressed. This would probably be even better with fresh veggies but I used frozen due to time.

This was a nice weeknight meal. I keep grilled shredded chicken breasts in the freezer to make quick work of meals like this. Using the pre cooked chicken, I heated the oil & garlic, added the honey, soy, and salt (no pepper for me!) and then added the chicken and frozen stir fry veggies and picked up from there. I did double the sauce and it was barely enough for 2 of us. This would be even better w/fresh veggies, I'm sure, but was still good w/frozen. I also added a few shakes of crushed red for a little heat and a dash of sesame oil for a little more depth. Thanks for the recipe!

This was really good. I doubled the sauce and threw in 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (makes it really spicy!) and 1/4 tsp ground ginger. I also tripled the garlic. Easy to make and delicious!

Probably didn't need the cornstarch, but this was really tasty and really easy. It took the same amount of time as the rice took to cook.

This is a good recipe to work with. Like other readers,I added more honey and red pepper flakes. Also took an orange out of the fridge and used fresh orange juice instead of water to mix with corn starch then zested the orange and put the peel into the sauce. This added a great orange flavor. Will definitely make again. Family friendly

Very good. Added some crushed red pepper for extra flavor. Also added a bit more soy sauce and honey to chicken and vegetables. My boyfriend loved this recipe. Will definately make again.

This is a very simple and easy recipe. I made a few changes of my own, added a bag of frozen supar snap peas and more soy sauce, honey and garlic. It was very tasty considering it didn't take any time to make, will make it again.

This was very good. Like so many others, I made some changes. Used fresh veggies instead of frozen (time saving tip on fresh produce: prep it as soon as you get home from the grocery), used a lot more garlic (I love me some garlic), added a couple of dried ancho chilis for heat, and a tablespoon of fresh peanut butter. For the crowning touch, I added a tiny drizzle of rice wine vinegar and sesame oil before before serving. Will definitely make again.

Was ok, nothing fantastic, but it was good.

This was incredibly good and incredibly easy. I doubled the sauce because I love extra sauce on just about anything!

So yummy. saute garlic, onion, carrot in olive oil. browned chicken then. removed. saute froze broccolli in more oil. added chicken mixture back in, stirred together. added 1/2 cup honey plus 4 TBSpoons of soy sauce and combined...added constarch and water. let get heated through and bubbley, served over hot rice...so good! will make again and again!

This was just ok. Did not have much flavor overall, even with added soy sauce and garlic.

I rated it 5 because i read the other reviews and saw people added a few things which inspired me to add some of my own stuff which really made it a hit with my boyfriend who is all about flavor. Instead of 3 tablespoons of honey i did 5. I doubled the soy sauce and added 1 tablespoon rice vinegar and 1 teaspoon fish sauce. I also added a red bell pepper cut into small squares and one chopped onion. when i did the frozen veggies i added the sesame oil. Along with minced fresh ginger about a tablespoon with some red pepper flakes. YUM!!

I usually go for spicy stir fries so this was something different for us to try and we really enjoyed it. It was a last minute find and I decided to make it to use up some frozen chicken breasts. I only had a frozen vegetable blend of sugar snap peas, carrots, mushrooms, and leeks so I substituted that for the broccoli blend. Great on a busy weeknight. Served with brown rice made in rice cooker.

Quick, easy and full of flavor! I added some crushed red peppers as others had noted. Excellent.

I love this recipe for its simplicity and ease of making. The entire family loved it and I plan on making it again and again

Winner winner chicken dinner! What a nice surprise! I was just looking for a way to use blsl chicken breasts and found a recipe that I will use over and over. I doubled the sauce as others suggested because I would rather have extra than not enough. I didn't plan on any changes but had the addition of celery seed due to grabbing the wrong jar. lol! It didn't hurt the flavor at all. Thank you Caroline Sperry for sharing such a great recipe!

Really good stirfry recipe! Nicely sweet, and tastes similar to a recipe from Joey Tomato's that I've been trying to replicate for years! Needs more garlic than called for, and the sesame oil and rice vinegar at the end didn't hurt either.

I made this last night. Absolutely delicious. After I sauted the chicken I deglazed the pan with some rice wine vinegar. Then I added a bit more olive oil to stir-fry the vegetables. I also added half of a medium onion. I added 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger and 1/4 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes. I also used orange juice in place of water to disolve the cornstarch. Like others have said, I let the sauce cook down until it carmelized everything nicely.

This recipe was great! But instead of using frozen broccoli stir-fry vegetable blend, I used a stir fry mix in the produce section. I will definitely make this again!

This was decent and easy to make. It needed a little more salt for me and I think next time I'll add more garlic. We used a stir fry vegetable mix and it worked out well. Very good!

This was yummy! It wasnt to sweet and it cooked well! It didnt take long either. Next time i will leave out the cornstarch and water though. Thanks!

Nothing spectacular here, was a little dissapointed.

Delicious!!! My family loved it! I added a bit more garlic, sprinkled in some ground ginger and doubled the sauce. It reminded me of my favorite Chinese dish, General Tso's chicken, without the spiciness. I think next time I might add some red pepper flakes, but it is great as is too, and so easy to make!

My husband really liked this and it was really easy. After reading reviews, I added more garlic, honey, soy sauce, added some garlic powder and a pinch of crushed red pepper. Otherwise, I followed the recipe and it turned out nicely.

This was so good! I tripled the recipe like other users recommended ... I also added fresh grated ginger and plan to add some crushed red pepper for a little 'kungpao' next time. Oh, and I just used green and red bell peppers and yellow onions as my veggies. Makes very good left-overs too. It's a keeper - it made it onto our family menu.

I followed the recipe except for adding some cayenne pepper to add a small kick. I added zucchini too. It's delicious!

I was skeptical about this recipe, because I thought it would be too bland, but it was so delicious! I loved it!

Next time I will try to add a little more honey at the end of cooking as it was difficult to find the taste...

Very quick and easy. I usually buy the frozen stir fry vegetables that are already seasoned to add a little extra flavor to the dish.

pretty good

Thanks for the idea for dinner tonight! I didn't really follow the recipe, just used it as a guideline. I couldn't even tell you the measurements that I used at all. I marinated the chicken first in a Ponzu sauce/worchestershire/garlic marinade that I make and then used the Ponzu sauce in place of plain soy. It added a bit of citrus to the sauce. Very good! Thanks for the new recipe!

Very good! I doubled the honey and soy sauce, added ground ginger, and a little crushed red pepper. I might marinate the chicken next time because it doesn't have much flavor and might actually triple the honey and soy sauce just because it tastes so good.

Great recipe! Easy to make and tastes wonderful!

I thought this was pretty good considering it didn't take me long at ALL to make. I tripled the sauce, cooked the stir-fry veggies in the sauce (warmed the chicken separately) and used a little ground ginger, crushed red pepper, and sesame oil. Good enough for my picky husband and our three friends!

The sweet tangy flavor was exceptional. Very easy to prepare

Used 2 Tbs garlic chili sauce and doubled the rest of the sauce.

Great and easy recipe! husband and kids loved it.

Very quick and tasty! Will definitely make again!

I make this meal about every other week, I love it, It's easy and my boyfriend and friends love it too. The honey really gives it a great flavor, I usually even add more than the recipe calls for. I also use fresh broccoli, carrots, and onions instead of the bagged stuff.

Fantastic base recipe! I followed the advice of other reviewers and added 1 TBS honey, 1 tsp red pepper flakes to the sauce, and to the corn starch added 2 TBS OJ (instead of water) and 1 TBS soy sauce. Yum!!! Best stir fry I've ever made :)

Lovely but needs more honey :}

We absolutely loved this recipe!! I didn't measure everything exactly...probably used more fresh garlic than it called for too. I served it first with brown rice and hubby thought it was wonderful. The next time I served it with bean threads. I soaked them in water when I started the chicken, and then added them after the veggies were cooked. They soaked up the juice, but kept a wonderful flavor. Normally we use sooo much soy sauce to get the bean threads to keep a nice flavor, so it was a great suprise. Will definitely continue to make this recipe!

This recipe was fantastic, a new family favorite for sure! The only things I changed in my cooking from the original recipe was adding more honey, garlic, soy sauce and I also put in some fresh ginger. I did not marinate the chicken before hand although I did simmer all of the ingredients together for a while. Over all this stir fry was a huge hit!

This recipe was quick and easy, but not the flavor I was looking for. I don't think I'll make this again.

Outstanding! The honey gives this dish just enough sweetness and goes perfect with the saltiness of the Soy Sauce!

We liked this, we did 1 1/2lbs chicken - 1/2c. soy sauce and 1/2 cup honey, triple garlic, add red pepper, 1 tsp fish sauce and 1 tsp vinegar. It was a nice sweet alternative to stir fry. We also didn't use the cornstarch.

Oh my god this was SO delicious. I doubled the recipe and put a lotttt of honey! I added celery and more water for more sauce. I also cooked rice noodles and rice and it was delicious with both! Loveddd it.

Tasty and easy recipe. We all enjoyed it and could have eaten more!

This is the best stir fry I have made, it was definitely restaurant quality. My husband hates chicken especially stir fry but he tasted it and liked it too.

This was a great, easy recipe! I loved it as is, but can see how some of these modifications may be good as well. I think that next time I'll add a little more honey and soy sauce, to make more of a sauce to pour over the rice and will also chop up some fresh veggies to add. :) Delicious, my boyfriend asked if I can make this once a week!

Turned out very well. I did add some chili powder and red papper flakes fora little heat (personal preference) but tasted before the addition and it was still fantastic. You can add any and all veggies that work for you : baby corn, carrots, peas, edamame, etc. All are delicious!

I never have ginger on hand, so I was looking for an easy stir-fry dish that didn't have ginger and gave this a try. It was delish. Definitely use low-sodium soy, as it was pretty salty with regular, even without adding any extra salt. However, I did triple the sauce and most of it boiled away quickly. It didn't even need the corn starch. Anyway, I would definitely make this again for a quick, easy meal. Thanks!

wow this is really good and so easy i didn't have ginger and came across this recipe and so glad i did it has become a quick dinner in our home now and i just made this for dinner for the tenth time :) you can add more water,cornstrach and well i used teriyaki sauce for more flavor and garlic powder was great we never have left overs either

This is really fresh and healthy. I skip the rice, just to save calories. At the end, I added a tiny bit more soy and honey. Delicious, and a great base recipe to add other flavors to. I might add more garlic and maybe a little ground ginger and chili flakes to the next batch.

Quick and easy! However, the next time I make it I will use fresh vegetables, more honey, soy sauce, and garlic. I will also add some fresh ginger. Overall, it's a good recipe to work with.

a fabulous dinner that would have a 5-star except you must double the sauce for sure! very easy, and great flavor, except it definitely could use some fresh cracked black pepper on top just before serving. i made rice in my rice cooker, which gets it just like it would be served in a chinese restaurant - nice and sticky! the sweetness of the honey with the tang of the soy was a really great combination. and amazingly, my kids both LOVED it! this will be a recipe i hang on to for quick weeknight meals. thank you!!

Easy and tasty - have made with chicken and pork and added a little ginger for some extra flavor.

I like that this recipe is super healthy! It's a great quick cook. If you want to keep your chicken moist though, don't put it back in with the vegetables before serving. Just keep warm and put on top of rice and vegetables.

Awesome recipe! Took suggestions of other reviewers and tripled the garlic; added an extra tablespoon each of soy sauce and honey; a dash of rice vinegar and chili pepper flakes (didn't have red pepper flakes on hand); added fresh minced ginger. Used fresh veggies. I have made this recipe several times and loved it everyone time. Highly recommended!

I added a tad extra honey and did not need to add the cornstarch. Overall a pretty good recipe, I like the sweet taste of it, good combination.

This was very quick and easy to prepare. I used pre-packaged fresh stir fry vegetables I found in the produce section of the grocery store instead of frozen vegetables. The flavor was good, nothing outstanding, overall it's a good recipe for a quick healthy dinner.

Great basic recipe that can easily be modified. Was an easy week night meal! Added a frozen bag of garden blend veggies (cauliflower, broccoli and carrots) along with mung bean sprouts. Thanks!

Was very tasty. Doubled the recipe and added extra honey and some ginger. My family loved this! Not the honey chicken my daughter requested but she did go back for seconds. Success!

Simple yet tasty. I took one reviewers advice and added sesame oil. and it turned out great! i will definitely keep this recipe.

This is my husband's favorite recipe, and it's wonderful. I only changed a few things. I don't understand the point of using reduced sodium soy sauce, and then adding salt. Just use regular soy sauce. Also, I use half a package each of frozen broccoli and peppers instead of the frozen broccoli stir fry. You can also use a pepper/onion mix. Serve it over brown rice.

Definately a keeper. I added more honey since i'm a sweet freak, and omitted the salt since all i had on hand was regular soy sauce. i didn't cook everything seperate, i cooked the chicken how the recipe said, then i just added the veggies with the chicken after it was cooked through. After the veggies were heated i added the cornstarch and water. My 4 year old twins even ate it which made my day.

I think this recipe is fantastic. I used fresh vegetables but the foundation of the recipe is so good, I think it still deserves 5 stars. I didn't make many changes other than a sprinkle of red pepper flakes and little additional honey and soy sauce in the last minute. My 4-year-old ate almost all of my chicken. It was delicious. This will definitely be a family favorite.

A very quick and easy stir fry with good flavor.

This has quickly become one of my favorite meals to make - the only recommendation I have (like many other reviewers) is to make more of the sauce! I personally triple the sauce each time I make it.

Sooo tasty and delicious! Best stir-fry I've made yet!!

Soooo yummy! Added some crushed red pepper as suggested in previous reviews and it turned out delicious! My fiance ate two huge platefuls. I will definetely make this again and again.

This is pretty good. I added more honey and found that there was enough juice from the chicken to leave the chicken and juices in the pan while frying the veggies. Really good!

Wonderful! So tasty yet simple to prepare. We loved it and will definitely be making it again and again. I added some ginger but otherwise kept to the recipe.

My family love this even the toddlers and I use whatever vegtables I have on hand.

Nice and simple with solid flavor in a jiff.

Great recipe! Just edited it a bit to fit my own needs- I added a bit more garlic, and I substituted olive oil with sesame seed oil. I also skipped the cornstarch to make it a bit more healthy :) Overall, I was very satisfied

Awesome and easy! Perfect, had dinner on table in 30 minutes and still had time to play with the kid while cooking as you don't have to stand right over the skillet the whole time. Recipe is going into my rotation for sure.

Very good basic recipe. I did make some adjustments as per prior reviews. Squeezed an orange in, a dash or two of red pepper flakes, and used fresh broccoli, carrots, and green onions. Will also add one more tablespoon of honey next time. Will be a go-to in my recipe book!

So good! I doubled the sauce. Used half at the beginning and added other half when I put the cooked chicken back in with the veges. I also used sesame oil to cook with and fresh veges.

Thanks for this quick recipe! I did add more honey, some red pepper flakes, and a little bit of sweet & sour sauce. Also, I used fresh veggies: carrots, zucchini, & bok choy. It was SUPER yummy!!

This was quite nice, but you couldn't really taste the honey in it, which was a little disappointing

If you prepare this ahead of time, the cooking is perfect for easy dinners. It has a very good flavor- sweet and salty. I used celery and carrots fresh for the vegetables. I will keep this in mind for quick nights!

Easy on the soy sauce, a little heavier on the honey, super easy, and delicious.

I've made this recipe twice. The first time i made it exactly how it is written. And it was very bland. Not bad but it needed some help. The second time I added more garlic, a pinch or two of ground ginger, and a generous splash of pineapple juice (just b/c that was what i had in the fridge but i think orange juice would have been great tasting as well)...Voilà!! Delicious! :-)

We had this for dinner last night, although there were no leftovers, there wasn't enough 'wow' in this recipe for me. On the other hand, it was very easy to make.

I loved this recipe. It was so easy and My husband is a picky eater and he loved it. Will be making it again soon

Great recipe !! I used fresh veggies and added more honey! My boyfriend loved it.

This was absolutely fantastic! I had 2 pounds of chicken so I doubled the sauce as well. Used fresh stir fry veggies, (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, celery and snap peas). It was so good. We also made a beef stir fry and the guests preferred the Honey Chicken, by far! Thanks for a great recipe! We will be making this again and again.

This was delicious! I'm so happy to find good, easy, healthy recipes for my family. I made the recipe exactly as stated minus the cornstarch and water at the end. It was great.

In our house we rate recipes 1-10, this came out as an almost 7. My husband said it would be good to make again, just not too often. It's a nice recipe to use when you want to switch things upa little.

this is very tasty, but it wasn't very different from any other stir-fry

My husband and I enjoyed this meal, Next time I may use a little more honey only because I am a sweet freak but the meal was excellent as is.

This was a nice basic recipe for stir fry. I wanted more sauce so just started adding more soy, water/corn starch and then some chicken stock. The flavor was very good with a little ground ginger.

Was really good. Sweet but good.

This recipe is AWESOME! Quick, easy and tasty! My Mom even complimented me on it and uses the recipe herself!

I make this exact recipe all the time! And other reviewers have made modifications, which is great, but the essence of this recipe is how EASY and QUICK it is :) It's also fine just the way it is I think. I especially LOVE to let it cook extra long at the end (as I'm getting my kids to the table and getting it set) It carmalizes the flavor and is SOOOO good this way! Def try this recipe!
