How to make sheet pan stir fry?
- Chop veggies and chicken.
- Make stir fry sauce.
- Arrange everything on an oiled sheet pan. I sprayed mine with olive oil cooking spray.
- Drizzle half of the stir fry sauce over the ingredients and stir in. I top the chicken with minced garlic.
- Bake until the chicken is done and the veggies are tender.
- Simmer the remaining sauce until it thickens and serve over the finished dish.
Recipe FAQs:
I always go for broccoli florets, onions and bell peppers. You can add sugar snap peas, water chestnuts, mushrooms, thinly sliced carrots, and others.
Absolutely! The air fryer is a perfect choice, especially during summer, when you don't want to heat up the house. Cut the cooking time by half. Check if the chicken is done and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more if needed.
Any leftovers should be stored in a container with a lid, in the fridge, for up to 4 days. To reheat, place in a skillet and heat up, over medium-low heat, with more stir fry sauce.

This was super easy but the sauce was kind of bland and thin. I don’t know what I could’ve done wrong because I followed the recipe exactly. After pulling it out of the oven I realized how diluted it was so I made a double batch of the sauce without the added water, cooked it in a saucepan until it thickened and it was better but still not like I think it should have been. I will make it again but leave the water out of it completely and see what happens.
