This Ground Chicken Stir-Fry is a fast, flavourful weeknight dinner that comes together in under 20 minutes. Lean ground chicken is cooked with crisp vegetables in a savoury soy-ginger sauce, then served over steamed rice. The ground chicken absorbs the sauce beautifully and cooks in minutes, making this one of the quickest protein-packed meals you can make. Perfect for busy Canadian families who want something healthy and satisfying without the fuss.

Mise en Place Saves Time

β€œEven for quick recipes, spend 3 minutes measuring and prepping everything before you turn on the heat. It sounds counterintuitive, but it actually speeds up cooking because you're never scrambling mid-recipe.”

Season Generously

β€œMost home cooks under-season their chicken. I use about 1 teaspoon of kosher salt per pound of chicken, applied at least 30 minutes before cooking for the deepest flavour penetration.”
