Chicken and Avocado Stir-Fry

Chicken and Avocado Stir-Fry pairs tender bite-size chicken with crisp snow peas and earthy cremini mushrooms, all coated in a savory soy-garlic glaze. Creamy chunks of avocado are tossed in at the end, adding richness and a unique contrast of textures. It’s a vibrant weeknight dinner that feels restaurant-inspired yet comforting enough for a family meal.

Chicken and Avocado Stir-Fry
  1. 1

    In a bowl, mix the broth, soy sauce, cornstarch, and garlic until the cornstarch is dissolved; set aside.

  2. 2

    Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the chicken and stir-fry until it is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes; transfer to a plate.

  3. 3

    Add the snow peas to the wok and stir-fry until bright green and still crisp, about 3 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms and green onions; cook, tossing occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and have released their juices, about 5 minutes. Drain if needed. Reduce the heat to medium.

  4. 4

    Return the chicken to the wok and stir briefly to combine with the vegetables. Stir the broth mixture to recombine, then pour it into the wok. Stir in the avocados, then simmer until the sauce thickens, about 3 minutes. Gently stir to coat everything in the sauce and serve right away.
