So, I had decided to buy an air fryer and I love it! This recipe is so simple and only has a few ingredients! Plus, this recipe is ready in about 20 minutes, which I LOVE. When the family is hungry and supper need to get on the table, this will be a ‘WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER”

The few ingredients in this recipe can be purchased at your local supermarket, plus if you don’t have an air fryer the chicken can be cooked in the oven or you can add drained cans of chicken breasts. Which I love to do, because this recipe could be ready in 10 minutes, LOL. And, I LOVE FAST meals!

What is in a honey chicken stir fry? (scroll down for the full printable recipe card)

  • chicken – I used frozen chicken tenderloins that come in a bag (picture below), however you can use fresh chicken breasts, boneless skinless chicken thighs, drained canned chicken breasts or any other types of meats, like sausage or smoked sausage, etc.
  • frozen peas and carrotts
  • ready rice – I like Uncle Ben’s Ready Rice is so easy and it’s already cooked and just needs to be reheated. You can choose any flavor of the Uncle Ben’s ready rice too
  • garlic powder
  • honey
  • salt
  • black pepper
  • optional seasonings: red pepper flakes, soy sauce and sesame oil, all to taste
  • optional items: scrambled eggs, any other chopped veggies like onion, sweet potatoes, corn or broccoli, only to name a few.
