Make the chicken in this stir-fry recipe even more flavorful by marinating it in a chicken stir-fry sauce that includes soy sauce and rice vinegar. Besides the thick, garlicky sauce, our favorite part of this dinner is the fact that it cooks in just 6(!) minutes. Try this Garlic Chicken Stir-Fry with rice or noodles; whatever you have handy or your family prefers works well as a base.

Have leftover spaghetti noodles from an Italian pasta party? Set aside 20 minutes and grab four more ingredients (chicken, red bell pepper, peanut sauce, and Broccolini) and you’ll have a slurps-so-good Asian noodle entree that has 20+ well-deserved five-star reviews.

Test Kitchen Tip: Try this with whole wheat spaghetti for slightly more fiber and protein than regular pasta or swap in rice noodles ($4, Target) for a gluten-free meal.

Cabbage and carrots transform into a tempting topping during a 30-minute quick pickle for this easy stir-fry chicken and vegetable dish. (It’s easier than it sounds and adds so much tangy goodness!) Once those have reached briny perfection, toss them with green beans, red bell peppers, chicken, and a flavor-layered stir-fry sauce for a rainbow-hued meal that tastes amazing. Top with a sprinkle of sesame seeds just before serving.

Start with a base of chicken and pasta, toss with the bold sauce, then make this 20-minute chicken stir-fry your own. “Excellent recipe; the stir-fry sauce was perfect! I didn't have any bell peppers handy, so I went with broccoli and edamame,” one BH&G home cook reviewed. Top with cilantro and sweet, crunchy peppers before serving.

If you want to practice with your chopsticks, the chicken meatballs in this recipe will probably be easier to pick up than the usual shredded or chopped chicken. Pineapple juice, rice wine vinegar, and ground ginger flavor the sauce. This is the best chicken stir-fry recipe if you’re short on time; it takes just 15 minutes total!

Nope, not all chicken-vegetable stir-fry recipes are Asian-inspired. When you’re in the mood for a taste-bud trip, try this Mediterranean twist that relies on cumin, coriander, and paprika to give it a boost of flavor. Similar to some of our favorite Asian entrées, this recipe is a little sweet and savory thanks to fresh pomegranate seeds.

Naturally gluten-free and fairly low in sodium, this is one stir-fry chicken and vegetables you have our full permission to eat every single week. Toasted sesame oil, ginger, and tamari (a wheat-free swap for soy sauce) are the dream team on the short ingredient list. Those staples infuse the chicken and mustard greens with nutty, salty notes that make it feel like a treat to eat your veggies.
