How to Make Chicken ‘Stir Fry’ Traybake (Dump-and-Go!)

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). This step ensures that your chicken and veggies roast perfectly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken, bell peppers, red onion, broccoli, snap peas, and minced garlic. This vibrant mix is not only pretty but also full of flavor!
  3. In a smaller bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, ground ginger, black pepper, and olive oil. Pour this delicious sauce over your chicken and vegetable mix.
  4. Toss everything together until well coated. Don’t be afraid to get your hands in there! Then, transfer the mixture to a large baking tray or sheet.

  6. When it’s done, serve it hot over your choice of cooked rice or noodles. Enjoy every bite!

Substitutions & Additions

If you’re looking to switch things up, here are a few ideas:

  • Swap out chicken for tofu or shrimp for a different protein.
  • Add other vegetables like carrots, zucchini, or snap peas for extra flavor and nutrition.
  • Try different sauces or add a splash of chili sauce for some heat.

Tips for Success

  • Make sure to cut your chicken and vegetables into similar sizes for even cooking.
  • If you’re short on time, you can prep the ingredients ahead of time and store them in the fridge until you’re ready to cook.
  • Don’t overcrowd the tray; give everything enough space to roast nicely. This keeps things crispy!
