Ingredients
Instructions
- Slice the desired number of chicken breasts.
- Marinate the chicken slices in a small amount of margarine for about 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper or seasoned salt.
- Stir-fry the chicken until golden brown, about 5 minutes over hot heat.

Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding minced garlic or ginger to the marinade. If you're short on margarine, olive oil can be a great substitute for marinating the chicken. Make sure the pan is hot enough before adding the chicken to achieve a perfect golden brown color. For a twist, try adding a splash of pineapple juice to the marinade for a sweet touch.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the stir-fried chicken over a bed of steamed rice or alongside Josi'S Quick Chicken Breasts for a full meal. Pair it with sautéed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced dish. A drizzle of teriyaki sauce on top adds a delightful finish and enhances the flavors beautifully.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chicken in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water or broth to keep it moist. Cover with a lid to help steam the chicken and heat through evenly without drying it out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen chicken breasts for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen chicken breasts, but be sure to thaw them completely before marinating. Quick thawing can be done by placing the chicken in a sealed bag and submerging it in cold water for about an hour. This ensures even cooking and better absorption of flavors during marination.
What can I substitute for margarine?
If you prefer not to use margarine, unsalted butter is a great alternative that adds rich flavor. Alternatively, olive oil or avocado oil can work well, especially if you're looking for a healthier option. Just keep in mind that different fats can slightly alter the taste and texture of the chicken.
How can I make this dish spicier?
To add some heat, consider incorporating red pepper flakes or sliced jalapeños during the stir-frying process. You can also marinate the chicken with a spicy sauce like sriracha or add a dash of hot sauce to the final dish. Adjust the level of spice according to your personal preference for an extra kick!
