Ingredients
Instructions
- Coat chicken chunks in salt, pepper, and half the minced onion. Let marinate for 1 hour.
Tips & Substitutions
For a flavorful twist, consider adding bell peppers or zucchini to the stir-fry. If you want a bit of heat, toss in some red pepper flakes. For a quicker meal, use pre-cut chicken or rotisserie chicken. You can substitute fresh tomatoes for canned if they're in season, but be sure to cook them down to achieve the right consistency. This dish can also be made with tofu for a vegetarian option.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the chicken and tomato stir-fry over steamed rice or quinoa for a complete meal. It pairs beautifully with a side of garlic bread or a fresh green salad. You can also serve it alongside the Chicken And Rice(From The Parsonage Kitchen) for a hearty family dinner. For a lighter option, serve it with a side of steamed vegetables.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, warm the stir-fry in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally until heated through. You can also microwave it in short intervals, stirring in between, but be careful not to overheat, as the chicken can become tough.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen chicken for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen chicken, but it's best to thaw it completely before marinating. This will help the seasonings penetrate the meat better, resulting in a more flavorful dish. Thaw it overnight in the refrigerator for best results.
What can I substitute for soy sauce?
If you need a soy sauce substitute, consider using coconut aminos for a gluten-free option. Alternatively, you can use Worcestershire sauce, though it will add a different flavor profile. Adjust the amounts to taste, starting with a smaller quantity.
How can I make this dish spicier?
To add heat, incorporate crushed red pepper flakes or sriracha into the stir-fry. You can also add diced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce. Adjust the spice level to your preference, starting with a small amount and increasing as needed.
