This easy one-pan chicken snap pea stir-fry skillet is packed with tons of pretty spring veggies and fresh ginger with a homemade Asian sauce makes it so flavorful!
The arrival of all the spring food starts….noooooow!
And oh man, I honestly thought this day would neeeeeeever come.
Wisconsin winters tend to always take away your sense of hope.
But now…we eat all the spring food. Nothing less than all of it.
And surprise, surprise, it’s all hanging out in a skillet…AGAIN! You know how things roll around here.
So basically guys, this chicken snap pea stir-fry you see today is this year’s take on a spring skillet.
I always somehow end up doing several every year this time of year soooooo…this is the glorious first of several.
And yes, those are sugar snap peas you see. THE BEST!
So my stir-fries always involve 3 steps. Seriously, 3 steps and then it’s chow time.
- Saute the veggies. Set ’em aside. Done
- Saute the chicken. Bam
- Make the sauce right in the pan with the chicken. Throw the veggies back in. The end.
Seriously EASY as heck dinner going down here today!
A gorgeous springtime chicken stir-fry if I ever saw one, guys.
Almost too pretty to eat but um….please don’t let that stop you. The veggies are perfectly tender and crisp. The chicken is SO juicy and tender. And the stir fry sauce just brings everything together.
Leftovers are BOMB if ya end up with them but I definitely wouldn’t count on that.

I thought it turned out very good. I also added some mushrooms. Very tasty. Will make again.
Joe says
This recipe was freaking amazingly out of this world. The ONLY adjust I would make would be not to add any salt, as the soy sauce mixture comes out very salty. But otherwise, this is freaking perfect !
