30 Minute Sheet Pan Chicken Stir Fry Recipe - Oh Sweet Basil (2024)

Chicken stir fry on a sheet pan is the quick and easy dinner you need for a busy weeknight with the fam! 30 Minute Sheet Pan Chicken Stir Fry is about to be in your regular dinner rotation.

As a Reynolds Wrap Ambassador, I’m excited to show you how to use Reynolds Wrap® Non-Stick Foil in this quick and easy chicken dinner recipe!

Chicken Stir Fry was not a huge deal at my house growing up, but Teriyaki Chicken totally was. In fact, I used to make myself a chicken teriyaki quesadilla after school like all the time. I don’t know why. I don’t know what started it. But my goodness, I still think they are the most delicious twist on a Mexican fav.

A few years ago our 15 minute chicken stir fry went totally viral and within months I’d become even more lazy and started making it in the oven on one sheet pan. 90% of the time we eat it as is, but occasionally I love to throw in stir fry noodles which are crazy easy as all you have to do is throw them in a hot pan, no boiling needed. Or rice noodles which you soak in hot water.

No matter how you serve this Asian chicken recipe I know for sure that your family will love it! And a quick and easy meal is pointless if the the cleanup is a beast, so I always use Reynolds Wrap® Non-Stick Foil. It helps food lift right off with no messy cleanup, especially for sticky foods like this.

You need a few chicken breasts and then a whole bunch of veggies, and then you can eat the stir fry as is or put it on top of rice or noodles. The sauce is going to require quite a few ingredients but it is seriously scrumptious! Here is what you will need:

• Chicken Breasts – you could go with thighs too, whichever you prefer, and cut them into good size chunks. Smaller pieces will over cook.
• Carrots – sliced into disks
• Red Onion – sliced into good sized pieces, remember, it’s 30 minutes in the oven at a higher temp which is necessary for better browning and caramelization for all the veggies
• Red Bell Pepper – red bells have sweetness, you could use yellow too, and I love the color adds!
• Orange Bell Pepper – also sweet like the red
• Broccoli Florets – cut into the bite size pieces
• Snow Peas – you can use snap peas too, whichever you can find
• Baby Bella Mushrooms – you can chop them up small or just half them for a meatier bite
• Bok Choy – we love the flavor and texture it adds
• Green Onion – chopped and sprinkled on top
• Rice Noodles (see section below for other options) – it’s up to your personal preference

For the Sauce

• Low Sodium Soy Sauce – I prefer low sodium so that I can control the saltiness of the dish
• Vegetable or Chicken Stock – with the soy sauce, it is the main base of the sauce
• Honey – natural sweetness
• Brown Sugar – adds sweetness and flavor
• Ground Ginger – you could use fresh instead, go with 1 tablespoon of fresh if you do
• Garlic – just 1 clove needed, finely minced
• Sesame Oil – you gotta have sesame oil in a stir fry, it’s the best flavor and a little goes a long way so you don’t need much
• Rice Vinegar – adds tanginess
• Oyster Sauce – adds a deep savory flavor
• Sweet Chili Sauce – sweet and spicy is life!
• Cornstarch – thickens the sauce
• Sesame Seeds – adds a little texture and flavor

The measurements for each ingredient can be found in the recipe card down below.

All you need is 30 minutes for this recipe. Let me show you how…

1. Preheat the oven and prep a sheet pan with Reynolds Wrap® Non-Stick Foil.
   • Reynolds Wrap® Non-Stick is made with a non-stick coating on one side (the dull side), so there’s no need to add cooking spray or oil. PRO-TIP!!! Make sure the dull side with the watermark is facing the food to benefit from the non-stick properties. Makes cleanup so easy!
2. Whisk the sauce ingredients together in a small saucepan and let it simmer.
3. Combine the sauce with the chicken, carrots, peppers and onions and place everything on the prepared sheet pan.
4. Bake for 15 minutes.
5. Toss the rest of the veggies with some oil and S & P and stir it with the ingredients on the sheet pan and bake for another 8-12 minutes.
6. If you’re going to use noodles or rice, make it while the stir fry bakes.

All of these instructions can also be found in the recipe card at the end of the post. You can also print or save the recipe from there.

Using Reynolds Wrap® Non-Stick Foil is actually really important. The sauce bakes all over that pan and will not only be a sticky mess, but the sugars and different components of the sauce will actually burn more in contact with the cookie sheet whereas nonstick foil keeps that from happening.

The new package now is easier to open too and has a tab that keeps the box fully closed for storing after use. BLESS THEM. Haha, Surely I wasn’t the only one wanting that all these years?

What to Serve with Chicken Stir Fry

Like I mentioned above, you can just eat the stir fry on it’s own or you can put it on top of something. Here are a few things to serve chicken stir fry with:

• White Rice
• Brown Rice

We went with rice noodles in these photos, but the stir fry really goes with just about anything!

Tips for Making the Best Stir Fry
