Ingredients and Substitutions
- Soy sauce--I recommend using low sodium soy sauce for this chicken stir fry recipe. The combination of chicken broth and regular soy sauce may result in a sauce that is overly salty. You can substitute tamari or coconut aminos, if needed.
- Chicken broth--Regular store-bought chicken broth is good for this recipe. If you're using regular soy sauce (not low sodium), then opt for low sodium chicken broth.
- Chicken--Boneless chicken breast works well here, but if you have boneless thighs on hand, those would also be a great choice. Be sure to cut the chicken into equal sized pieces so that they cook evenly.
- Oil--This recipe uses sesame oil in the marinade to add flavor to the chicken, and a neutral oil, like vegetable or sunflower oil for the griddle. Don't use sesame oil for the griddle as it has a low smoke point and can burn easily.
How to Make Chicken Stir Fry on a Griddle
1. Mix 2 tablespoons soy sauce with the ginger, garlic, and sesame oil in a small bowl.
2. Place the chicken in a resealable bag and pour the marinade over. Stash it in the fridge for an hour.
3. Whisk the broth with the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, broth, cornstarch, honey, and sriracha, if using.
4. Heat the griddle until hot, then add the oil.
5. Add the chicken and marinade to one side of the griddle and the vegetables to the other. Stir fry until the vegetables are crisp tender and the chicken is cooked through.
6. Mix everything together. Pour the sauce on top and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce coats the chicken and vegetables.
FAQs
Absolutely. Feel free to swap in broccoli, green beans, mushrooms, or snap peas. They will all have similar cooking times.
You can chop the vegetables up to 3 days in advance and you can marinate the chicken up to 24 hours before cooking. Don't marinate for longer than 24 hours though or your chicken may become mushy.
I do this to allow for better control during cooking. If your vegetables are cooking too quickly, or your chicken needs higher heat, you can adjust one side of the griddle without impacting the other.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your stir fry over steamed rice or mixed into rice or chow mein noodles for an easy meal. If making noodles, you can even stir fry them on the griddle, too.
Storage and Reheating
Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in a skillet or on the griddle until hot throughout.
Tips and Troubleshooting
- Going camping? To get ahead, chop your vegetables and store them in a sealed container. You can also mix up your marinade and stir fry sauce before heading out. Keep them in the cooler until you're ready to use them.
- After pouring the stir fry sauce on the chicken, it will spread out across the griddle. Use the side of your spatula to keep working it back into the chicken and vegetable mixture. It will thicken and coat the food as it cooks.
- This recipe is suitable for dairy-free diets. To make it gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce.

Recipe
Blackstone Chicken Stir Fry
Ingredients
- ¼ cup reduced sodium soy sauce divided
- 2 teaspoons minced ginger
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 pound (454 g) boneless chicken breast cut into ¼-inch strips
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 teaspoon sriracha optional
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for the griddle
- 1 medium onion sliced into ½-inch wedges
- 1 medium bell pepper sliced into ½-inch pieces
- 8 ounces (227 g) asparagus cut into 2-inch (5-cm) pieces
- Sesame seeds for serving (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk 2 tablespoons soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil together.
- Place the chicken strips in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag and massage lightly to coat the chicken. Stash in the fridge and marinate for 1 hour.
- While the chicken is marinating, in a medium bowl, whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, chicken broth, cornstarch, honey, and sriracha, if using.
- When you're ready to cook, heat both sides of the griddle to medium-high. Add the vegetable oil and spread to coat the surface of the griddle.
- Add the chicken and its marinade to one side of the griddle and the onion, pepper, and asparagus to the other. Cook, stirring frequently, and adjusting the heat as needed until the vegetables are crisp tender and the chicken is cooked through, about 6 minutes.
- Mix the cooked chicken and vegetables together on the griddle and pour the stir fry sauce over the mixture. Working quickly, use the side of your spatula to continually scrape the liquid back towards the mixture and stir everything together until the sauce thickens and coats everything evenly, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Scoop into a serving bowl and serve immediately, topped with sesame seeds, if desired.
