I’m excited to share today’s fabulously fast, filling, and flavourful Asian Chicken Stir Fry Sheet Pan Meal as a part of my continuing partnership with Shenandoah Valley Organic and their family of brands: Red Wheelbarrow, Blue Ridge Trail, and Farmer Focus.
I love SVO because their chicken is the best commercially grown chicken I’ve ever tasted. While they are sponsoring this post, all opinions, recipes, and photography remain -as always- my own.
I know some people may be skeptical about a stir fry made on a sheet pan in the oven. Don’t you NEED a wok?
Don’t you need to stand there the whole time and use special tools? In short? NO.
I have made this Asian Chicken Stir Fry Sheet Pan Meal for my family 5 times in the last 2 weeks. The first 3 times were to nail the recipe.
The last 2 times I made it were just because we loved it so very much the first 3 times that we couldn’t stop making it. And as much as I adore the gingery, garlicky, crisp-tender vegetables and flavourful chicken tenders, I also madly love that it takes just minutes to throw together and a mere 20 minutes of cooking time.
It really is as simple as laying out some excellent chicken tenders on a sheet pan spritzed with non-stick cooking spray. Add to that a generous portion of broccoli florets, some bell pepper strips, and the white part of some green onions.
Whisk together a few Asian inspired sauce ingredients, drizzle over the pan, and give the works a toss before popping it into the oven. After 12 minutes, you give add some snow peas and give it all a stir before returning to the oven for just 6 more minutes.
The super fast prep and cook time make our Asian Chicken Stir Fry Sheet Pan Meal a no-brainer addition to our family “busy night” rotation. The truth is that most of our nights are busy nights, and since everyone in our family enthusiastically approved of this meal, I foresee it hitting our table often.
Even the vegetable hating contingent didn’t mind the vegetables so much, and they seriously loved how tasty the chicken tenders were using this method. They were -in fact- so tender that they yielded easily to the edge of a fork.
If you’re looking for more excellent chicken recipes, I highly recommend trying out our Smoked Whole Chicken. It’s a great intro to smoking meat by virtue of its easiness, but man is it ever good!!
Asian Chicken Stir Fry Sheet Pan Meal
I highly recommend using chicken from the Shenandoah Valley Organic family of brands: Red Wheelbarrow, Blue Ridge Trail, and Farmer Focus. The chicken is superb and delivers organic, humanely raised chicken at a price per pound similar to or lower than conventionally raised beef.
You do NOT need to trim down the chicken tenders before putting them on the pan. It’s not necessary.
If you are in a real time crunch, you can trim down the already speedy preparation of our Asian Chicken Stir Fry Sheet Pan Meal by using pre-cut broccoli florets. Just break down any gigantor pieces into nice bite sized ones.
I like to use a mix of bell peppers, so I usually use 1 standard sized red and yellow pepper each, or a mixture of whichever standard sized or small bell peppers I have on hand.
Much like a regular stir-fry, you’ll want to have everything chopped and measured before you start assembling things. When you slice your green onions, separate the whites from the greens. The white part will go onto the pan at the beginning of cooking while the greens will be added as an accent after cooking is finished.
If you’re concerned whether your chicken is done, use an instant read thermometer. Once it reads 165°F in the thickest part of the tender, the chicken is done.

Hi Dawn, This recipe looks delicious. Have you ever made it in advance and heated before serving? I’m thinking about making it for a party.
Wendy says
This was so delicious – just like all of your recipes. I love the sheet pan meal trend right now! Does anyone else have inconsistent results with chicken sheet pan recipes though? I don’t mean with just this sheet pan recipe. It seems like, in general, half the time my sheet pan dinners turn out wonderful, and the other half of the time the chicken has so much juice that everything kind of boils and steams instead, and the final product has a lot of juice too rather than a glaze. I always make sure the chicken is completely thawed, but I can’t figure out why some chicken is so juicy/watery! Have you run into this at all? I can’t seem to find any rhyme or reason to it. Any suggestions?
Rebecca says
Hi Wendy- Thanks so much! I might be able to shed a little light on your chicken conundrum. Most frozen chicken breast comes ‘enhanced’ or plumped with chicken broth or water. As it cooks, it gives off this liquid. You didn’t do anything wrong. It’s just the nature of that type of chicken. If it is troublesome to you, it can be avoided by buying chicken from a smaller grower/farmer, or a higher quality chicken like Shenandoah Valley Organic chicken.
Dawn says
Hi there,
I am planning to make this recipe at my local Ronald McDonald House to feed the families with children in the hospital that are staying there. I need to cook dinner for 20 and am wondering how many your recipe will feed as is.
Thank you!
Rebecca says
Hi there, Dawn! I’d say this served with rice comfortably fed 4 to 5 with decent appetites for dinner.
Nancy Long says
I might also try this with shrimp, would probably add them with the snow peas

Emma says
This was hands down THE BEST stir fry sauce/meal I’ve ever had at home. My family recently moved to a rural area with very few ethnic restaurants around, so I try to make as many of our favorite cuisines at home now. This is definitely going into the rotation! Thank you for all your amazing creations, Rebecca!
Rebecca says
Oh my goodness, Emma! Thank you! I’m so glad you loved it so much. And thank you for saying such kind things.
