This savory chicken recipe is so flavorful, and I appreciate that this high-protein recipe is made in only one pan. Who needs a sink full of dishes?
This Asian-inspired meal is as nutritious as it is delicious. It packs a protein punch, thanks to the chicken, which provides the health benefits of protein. There are plenty of vegetables, including shallots (check out the health benefits of shallots) red bell pepper (check out the health benefits of bell peppers) and fresh spinach (check out the health benefits of spinach). The cherry tomatoes add a burst of color and flavor as well (check out the health benefits of tomatoes).
To make this scrumptious stir-fry dinner recipe, you'll need the following ingredients: soy sauce or gluten-free tamari, Dijon mustard, butter, boneless/skinless chicken breast, shallots, red bell pepper, cherry tomatoes and fresh spinach. You mix up the sauce then cook the chicken and vegetables in it. So simple, and ready in only about 20 minutes.
Serve this succulent chicken Dijon stir-fry recipe for lunch or for dinner any night of the week over rice or noodles, or just by itself. It's a great meal-prep recipe, so be sure to make plenty to have leftovers.

Ingredients
Sauce
- 1/3 cup soy sauce (or gluten-free tamari or low-sodium soy sauce)
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard (or whole grain mustard)
Stir Fry
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 pound boneless/skinless chicken breast (or thighs), cut into chunks
- 1 cup shallots, diced
- 1 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 5 ounces fresh spinach
- salt and pepper, to taste (optional, but I used about 1/3 teaspoon of each)
Here's how to make it:
- In a small mixing bowl or measuring cup, add the soy sauce and Dijon mustard. Whisk to combine then set aside. (To make this recipe gluten-free, use gluten-free soy sauce or tamari. To reduce sodium, use low-sodium soy sauce.)
- In a wok or large skillet with sides, add the butter and heat to medium-high. Add chicken. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, if desired. Cook until done. Remove chicken from pan and set aside. (Instead of chicken breast, you could use boneless/skinless chicken thighs. Chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.)
- To the pan, add the shallots and red peppers and stir to combine. Add the tomatoes and stir to combine. Add the spinach and cook until wilted.
- Add the chicken and the sauce. Stir to combine.
- Cook, stirring, until vegetables are tender and sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Serve over rice or noodles or all on its own. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
