Let's go over some suggestions and substitutions

Soy Sauce

I use a low sodium soy sauce so keep that in mind when adding your salt. However, you can use a regular soy sauce, just make sure to be mindful of the other ingredients. If you are using this for a gluten free

Brown Sugar

I always, typically, use brown sugar replacement and ground chicken stir fry is no exception. It is easy grab a huge package from Amazon and that is what I always use. I do not mind using a replacement sugar. However, I know some people have concerns with that. You can substitute a brown sugar blend or just straight brown sugar. 

Honey can be common in a ground chicken stir fry recipe and you can also substitute that for the brown sugar.

Sesame Oil

Just your typical sesame oil. However, if you are trying to cut back some oil, you can skip this ingredient.

Garlic and Ginger

You can used minced garlic and ginger but you can also use the powder/ground version if you do not have the other.

Pepper

Just your normal bell pepper. If you want to spice this up, add in a little jalapeño pepper.

Onion

I prefer a white or sweet onion in this recipe. Use a sweet onion if you want to keep things sweeter or just the white onion for a neutral flavor.

Ground Chicken

I make this Asian stir fry with chicken but, try this with ground beef if you prefer a red meat. Typically, I will use a 99% fat-free ground chicken breast; however, you can substitute a different fat percentage. I think the best stir fry recipe is with ground chicken but, I am very biased towards it.

You can also use this recipe to marinate some chicken (or steak) strips and make a stir fry from that.

Making This Spicier

If you want to make this dish spicy, add some chili flakes into the seasonings or sauté some jalapeño with the bell pepper. You can also reduce the amount of brown sugar if you do not want it to be that sweet. I really love adding in some Mike's hot honey as well.

I also love adding 2 tablespoons of sweet chili sauce into this for a little kick!

How to Make The Best Ground Chicken Stir Fry Recipe

Start by mixing all the ingredients for the gluten free and sugar free stir fry sauce together in a small bowl and set that aside.

Dice the onion and pepper.

Heat a medium sized pan over medium high heat. Grease with cooking spray.

Once heated, add the pepper and let that cook for 4 minutes. Then, add the onion and let that cook for another 2-3 minutes. Add the ground chicken and start breaking that up, a meat chopper works great for this. Sprinkle with all the seasonings and continue to break up while cooking.

Once fully cooked, add the stir fry sauce in and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken and the flavors form together.

Also, make sure you try out my bulgogi ground beef recipe. It is super similar but geared more towards beef.

Make a Stir Fry Bowl Recipe

I love serving ground chicken stir fry over some rice or noodles. You have to try my instant pot rice, it makes the best rice. But, you can also use a rice cooker. Then, serve with broccoli or another vegetable. My crunchy crack broccoli recipe works amazing in this bulgogi bowl.
