White bean and chicken stir fry is a quick, nutritious, and delicious meal that combines lean protein, fiber-rich beans, and a variety of colorful vegetables. This dish is perfect for busy weeknights when you need something fast yet wholesome.
Instructions:
- Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts. Cut them into bite-sized strips or cubes for even cooking.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and no longer pink in the center. Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, add the 1.5 cups of mixed frozen vegetables. Stir fry for about 5 minutes or until they are heated through and begin to soften.
- Pour in the 4 tablespoons of soy sauce and 3 fl oz of white wine. Stir well to combine and let the mixture simmer for about 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Add the 1.5 cups of white beans to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are warmed through.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Mix everything together until the chicken is well coated with the sauce and heated through.
- Divide the stir fry among plates or bowls and serve hot. This stir fry pairs nicely with rice or noodles, or you can enjoy it on its own for a lighter meal.
Tips:
- Cut the chicken breasts into even, bite-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
- Thaw and drain the frozen vegetables before adding them to the stir fry to avoid excess water in the pan.
- Feel free to add your favorite fresh vegetables, like bell peppers, carrots, or snap peas, to enhance the flavors and textures.
- Use a large skillet or wok to give the ingredients enough room to cook properly without overcrowding.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, add a teaspoon of cornstarch mixed with a tablespoon of water during the cooking process.
- Marinating the chicken in a bit of soy sauce and garlic for about 15-30 minutes before cooking can add extra flavor.
- Season with additional spices or herbs like ginger, garlic, or black pepper to suit your taste preference.
