How to Make Flavor-Packed Blackstone Griddle Chicken Stir Fry

Let’s make it together! Follow these simple steps to create your own cozy stir fry:

Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat (400°F).
In a small bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients: chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, and cornstarch. Set aside.
Spread the avocado oil across the cooking surface and create two cooking zones.
Add the broccoli and carrots to one side of the griddle, cooking for 2-3 minutes. If you have a press, use it to expedite the cooking.
On the other side, place the diced chicken. Season with salt and pepper, then cook for 3-5 minutes, flipping regularly until golden brown.
Add the yellow and red bell peppers to the griddle and cook until tender, about 1-2 minutes.
Combine the cooked chicken and vegetables, then add the minced garlic and ground ginger, cooking for another minute to let those spices bloom.
Pour the prepared sauce over everything and toss to coat. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Once the sauce has reached a lovely, thick consistency, plate your stir fry over hot rice and finish with a generous shower of sesame seeds.

Variations & Creative Twists

Add Nuts for Crunch: Toss in some cashews or almonds for an extra nutty flavor and delightful crunch.
Swap the Veggies: Try using snap peas, bell peppers, or mushrooms based on your family’s preferences or what you have on hand.
Make it Spicy: A sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes can add a lovely kick! Just a pinch will do if you want to keep it mild.
Protein Variations: Swap the chicken for diced tofu for a scrumptious vegetarian option or throw in shrimp for a seafood twist.
