This tangy chicken stir fry has been a family favorite since my daughter was a little girl. It’s so easy to make and uses only 6 ingredients for the basic recipe. Not only is it delicious, but you can definitely vary the basic recipe according to your preferences or ingredients on hand. Dinner is ready in about 15 minutes.
For convenience, use frozen vegetables. But if you’d prefer, easily swap those out for fresh. Add other vegetables like celery, onion, snow peas, mushrooms, peppers, green beans, or any other favorite stir fry additions. You can even use a different protein like diced pork if you’d prefer.

Ingredients:
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp. ground ginger (we prefer to use the minced ginger but ground is fine if that’s what you have on hand)
1-2 minced garlic cloves depending on preference
3/4 cup Miracle Whip
1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into thin strips
3 cups frozen California vegetable mix (or 1 cup each fresh broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, and carrot slices)
1/4 cup green onion slices (optional – for garnish)
Instructions:
Combine the Miracle Whip, soy sauce, ginger and garlic.
Toss the chicken into this mixture.
Heat up your wok or a deep skillet to medium high heat. Add the coated chicken strips to the wok and stir fry for about 4 minutes. You don’t need any additional oil because the Miracle Whip acts as the cooking oil for you. If you want the flavor of it though, you can add a teaspoon of sesame oil.
Add the vegetables and stir fry another 3-5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
We like to serve over rice or Udon noodles.
Other variations: If you like it with a bit more kick, throw a pinch of red pepper flakes in there. Prefer a bit sweeter taste to your stir fry? Add in a tablespoon or two of orange juice or brown sugar. To really take the taste to another level, stir in about 1/3 cup peanut butter. YUM!
