Spicy Chicken Stir Fry!


This is a quick and easy stir fry that only takes about 20 minutes to make! Plus you should have plenty of left overs if there are two people eating, this recipe is enough for at least 4 people. 

What You Need:
about 1/2 cup canola oil for cooking.
3 boneless chicken breasts.
1 pack of mushrooms, ​1 tablespoon butter for cooking.
2 onions.
1 bell pepper.
​2-4 cayenne peppers.
about 2 cups rice or Thai noodles.
soy sauce for flavor.
1 teaspoon sesame seeds-browned.
​few drops of lime juice.
​fresh grated ginger or powdered ginger.
sriracha.
salt.
​pepper.


Start by cooking rice as directed by package directions, or in this recipe I used Thai sticky noodles, which needed to be soaked in water for 20 minutes before boiling. Set aside. For Thai noodles, once soaked, drain, rinse and boil for 5 minuets, then drain and set aside. Add in some canola oil to avoid sticking to the pan. 
​Cut up chicken into bite sized pieces set aside. Season chicken with salt, pepper and ginger.
Slice peppers, onions and hot peppers into thin pieces. Remove hot pepper seeds if desired. Wash mushrooms and cook in a separate pan with butter until soft. Set aside. About 10 minutes. Add in lime juice.
​Start by pouring about 1/2 cup of canola into a large pan or wok. Allow the oil to heat, and then add in chicken. Cook hot and fast, mixing often.  Add in soy sauce and sriracha
Once the chicken is cooked all the way through, set aside.
Cook vegetables until soft, also, add in your cooked mushrooms. Once vegetables are done, set aside. While cooking the vegetables, cook the sesame seeds in a separate small pan. They only need to be lightly browned. About 7 minutes. Cook on low heat, and follow directions on the container.
 Now it is time to fry the noodles, or the rice depending on what you picked. Cook the noodles/rice quickly. Avoid sticking to the pan by making sure you have adequate oil in the pan. Once cooked lightly, add in chicken, vegetables. Stir fry everything together! Add more soy sauce if desired.
