Maple Ginger Chicken Stir Fry

Dinner · 25 min · Serves 4 · Easy · Best with Amber Rich maple syrup

A quick weeknight stir fry with a sticky maple-ginger sauce that beats takeout every time. Ready in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1½ lbs boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 3 tbsp pure maple syrup (Amber Rich)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Sesame seeds for garnish
  • Cooked rice for serving

Method

  1. Mix maple syrup, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic in a bowl. Set aside.
  2. Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat with a tablespoon of oil.
  3. Cook chicken in a single layer, 4–5 minutes until golden. Remove and set aside.
  4. Add broccoli and bell pepper to the pan. Stir fry 2–3 minutes until crisp-tender.
  5. Return chicken to the pan. Pour the maple-ginger sauce over everything.
  6. Add the cornstarch slurry and stir until sauce thickens and coats everything, about 1 minute.
  7. Serve over rice. Top with green onions and sesame seeds.
Tip: Amber Rich maple gives the sauce a warm sweetness that balances the ginger and soy perfectly. Use chicken thighs instead of breasts — they stay juicier.
