Cantonese chicken is a simple but tasty way to tackle a stir-fry. All you need is diced chicken that's stir-fried with garlic, then to serve it in a sticky dark sauce along with vegetables of your choice and rice or noodles.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Boil Rice
1
  • Boil a half-full kettle.
  • Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat.
  • Pour the boiled water into a saucepan with ¼ tsp salt on high heat. Boil the rice, 12-13 mins.
  • Once cooked, drain, pop back in the pan and cover.
Sizzle Time
2
  • Once hot, fry the chicken, mushrooms and young pea pods, 5-6 mins. TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat. 
  • Season with salt and pepper.
Simmer Sauce
3
  • Next, add the Cantonese style stir-fry sauce, soy sauce and water (see pantry) to the chicken.
  • Bring to the boil. Simmer, 3-4 mins. IMPORTANT: Cook so there's no pink in the middle of the chicken.
  • Add a splash of water if needed.

  • Divide the rice and stir-fry between your bowls. 
  • Sprinkle over the sesame seeds.

Review summary

Updated on Aug 2026
  • Flavour: The stir-fry sauce delivers a satisfying result for many, though some found it mild and suggested adding extra seasoning or additional ingredients to boost depth.
  • Ease of prep: This is a genuinely quick and straightforward dish, with most finding it easy to pull together on a weeknight.
  • Suggestions: Consider adding extra vegetables to bulk out the dish, and use sesame seeds sparingly if you prefer a lighter finish.
  • Portions: Some felt the chicken portion was on the small side and the balance leaned heavily towards rice; adjusting the rice quantity may help.
