Chicken Honey Nut Stir Fry Recipe

This was SO GOOD!! Absolutely the best stir fry recipe I have tried yet. The only changes I made were the addition of peas (next time will probably add broccoli, snow peas, etc.) and i didn't have cashews so i toasted some almond slivers and sesame seeds and i think they were a fine substitution. i added a litle more ginger than called for. I thought the blend of flavors in the sauce was just outstanding and everyone said it smelled and tasted fabulously. very good recipe, only change i would make would be the addition of more vegetables.

Very good. Will definitely make again. I made 2 modifications: I had to use ground ginger (adjusted amount by 2/3rds less); I added bamboo shoots (about 20 pieces); I didn’t have green onions so I used white onions — but rather than throwing on at the end with the cashews I added them in with the carrots & celery to tame them down. CAUTION: on first attempt - follow the sauce instructions - only use 1 Tbsp of honey - this dish could be too sweet otherwise. If you like that extra sweetness add it the next time. This will be become a rotation regular.

Loved this healthy recipe! I have made this several times with a few cooking changes. I omitted the ginger root. I cooked the chicken first in 1 TBS of hot peanut oil and then removed it from the pan. Added another 1 TBS of peanut oil and the vegetables, including water chestnuts, green and red bell peppers, and cooked for 3 minutes. I then added 1/3 cup water and placed a lid on the pan for 2 min. Removed the lid, added the chicken again and cooked for a couple more minutes before adding the orange juice mixture. Once it thickened, I added the cashews and green onions, tossed a couple of times and served over a bed of white rice. The vegetables were still crunchy and not mushy. What is so terrific about this recipe is how easy it is to add different vegetables for a different combination with this flavorful sauce. It's easy and a wonderful to eat lots of fresh vegetables. Thanks so much!

I thought this dish was excellent! I used turkey cutlets cut in strips because thats what I had out. I cooked the meat first until no longer pink. Then I added three fresh cloves of glaric, I diced up half of a fresh tomato with seeds removed, half an onion, a can of green pigeon peas (drained), 1 cup frozen mixed veggies, and added it to the pan with the meat, and cooked for a few minutes to soften up the onion and glaric. I followed the recipe for the sauce to the T except I used ground ginger not fresh. Poured the mixture over the meat, added some hot sauce and red pepper flakes for some heat, mixed well covered and cooked for another ten minutes. This is a keeper, will make again. You can use any type of protein you wish, even tofu if your a vegetarian. Served this over brown rice.

Quick, easy, tasty. I added more veggies (green peppers, broccoli, snow peas and water chestnuts) and doubled the sauce. Next time I'll probs use more ginger and soy and a little less juice and honey as the sauce was just a little sweeter than I would have liked. Overall very tasty. Good for a weeknight.

A nice stir fry. I added more vegetables to the mix, and I was glad I did. It wouldn't have been enough vegetables for us the way it is written, also minced garlic and white onion. I added spices; pepper, red pepper flakes, cayenne, garlic and onion powders to increase the flavors. I will make this one again.

I had some cut up chicken breasts marinating in Italian dressing overnight and was looking for a recipe. This was very good and easy to make. I doubled the sauce and added more veggies. I did sprinkle garlic powder & pepper and on the chicken. I didn't have peanut oil, so I mixed a little sesame oil with olive oil. I also steamed my veggies until they were tender crisp. I browned the chicken, added the sauce & cooked until it got thick, then mixed all together in a bowl. I served with brown rice. My whole family liked it and wants me to make it again. I had leftovers for lunch today and it was just as good heated over.

I used to make something similar to this years ago from a recipe I got from an advertisement in a magazine. That recipe has since been lost...until I found this one here! I believe it is close (if not exactly the same) to my lost recipe. To make it a bit healthier I cut the chicken down to 1 pound and added a chopped red bell pepper and snow peas. Those were lovely additions and worked well. I also used regular soy sauce instead of low sodium, and the result was not too salty at all for my tastes. Lastly I swapped peanuts for the cashews (cheaper). At first I thought the sauce was too thin, but it thickened up quite a bit for the leftovers so I'll keep the sauce the same next time. I generally don't like things too sweet, so I was light handed with the honey measurements but it's not overly sweet at all. I think a touch of heat would be a nice complement to the sweetness, perhaps a chile or red pepper flakes. Served on nutty, brown rice which was wonderful with this. The trick to recipes such as this is how well you cook the veggies. If they're crunchy they are not done yet, if they're soft you took it too far, just needs to be firm. This was as good as I remember! So happy to have my long-lost recipe back!

This was a big hit with the family! It was dead easy to make. And everyone rantend, raved and ate second helpings. I changed the recipe by cutting the chicken into cubes, coating them in cornflour and frying them until lightly golden. I did this the day before because it was for a big family dinner. On the day of the dinner I added the chicken towards the end so it was warmed, but overly cooked. Thanks for the great recipe!

I made this the other night and thought it was very good. I did not use all the o.j. when doubling the sauce like I always do. I used 1/2 cup chicken stock and 1 cup o.j. I was afraid it would have too much of an orange flavor as per one reviewer. I did add a little more honey and soy sauce, but that was my preference after tasting. It could have been because I used less orange juice, which would have made it sweeter. I didn't have cashews, so I used peanuts. I thought it was really good.

Too much orange juice. Otherwise delicious. Great alternative to our normal fare! Added muchrooms and will likely add peppers and broccoli next time as well. In addition, after reading other reviews, I also browned the chicken serperately and then added later.

It came out perfect on the first try.

Like others, I added more veggies ( yellow squash, onion, and water chestnuts). I also used sesame oil for cooking. I’d probable add something spicy ( sriracha or chili oil), but my company doesn’t do well with spice.

This was good, but I felt it needed some spices. Added a sprinkling of Chinese 5 spice, salt, white pepper and a bit of cayenne pepper. I’d make it again!

Easy to make and the only thing you might want to do is add more carrots and celery. Definitely use fresh ginger because it adds more flavor. We ate without putting this over anything, but if you want you could put over rice. We didn't have any green onions so didn't bother & not sure if really necessary. Will be making again.

Excellent!

This was fine, but didn't really "wow" us. Easy to make, but likely not make again, only because it seemed rather bland.

Very tasty will make again .Thanks for sharing

It's good, but I taste a bit of the orange juice in the stir fry. I also like how people added zucchini instead of celery. I don't think the celery was needed.

It didn't taste bad but I was surprised how bland this was considering the ingredients would suggest otherwise.
