Rotisserie Chicken Stir-Fry turns store-bought shortcuts into a 20-minute flavor-packed dinner the whole family will love!
Rotisserie Chicken Stir-Fry
My kids love Chicken Stir-Fry—especially when noodles, like in Chicken Chow Mein, are involved!
Stir-fries are usually fast, but they can still require a lot of prep. I wanted to make a recipe that’s as simple as it is tasty—and this one delivers! With store-bought helps and a six-ingredient sauce, you’ll be amazed how easy it is to make.
Thanks to pantry basics, the sauce mixes up in seconds and adds tons of flavor to the chicken and veggies.
Rotisserie Chicken Stir-Fry Ingredients
- Onion: Slice thin so they’ll cook fast and get tender quickly.
- Frozen Veggies: This stir-fry vegetable blend is my favorite to use. It’s got broccoli, peas, peppers, carrots, and more.
- Garlic: Use fresh or pre-chopped for ease.
- Ginger: Ginger paste or frozen cubes are quick and easy.
- Rotisserie Chicken: Pre-cooked chicken saves time. Many stores sell it already shredded, diced, or sliced, ready for recipes. Leftover roasted or grilled chicken also works great.
Sauce Ingredients
- Cornstarch: Thickens the sauce and makes it glossy.
- Soy Sauce: Adds salty, savory flavor. Use light soy for this recipe.
- Sesame Oil: Toasted sesame oil gives a nutty, bold flavor.
- Oyster Sauce: Adds rich, savory flavor—don’t skip it!
- Chicken Broth: The base of the sauce; water works in a pinch, but you might need a bit of salt or bouillon.
- Brown Sugar: Balances the flavors with a touch of sweetness.
Optional Additions
Add extra flavor to your Rotisserie Chicken Stir-Fry with these simple options:
- Toasted sesame seeds
- Sliced green onions
- Sriracha sauce for a kick of heat
- Rice for serving. Simply add rice to boiling water, cook for 10 minutes, drain, and enjoy perfectly cooked rice!
Rotisserie Chicken Stir-Fry Quick Tips
- Use a big pan: A 12-inch or larger skillet or wok works best to mix everything easily.
- Prep first: This recipe cooks fast, so get everything ready before you start.
- Be gentle with the chicken: Toss shredded chicken in gently to keep it from becoming stringy.
What to Serve with Rotisserie Chicken Stir-Fry
- Fried Rice: For extra flavor, pair it with a great fried rice recipe.
- Asian Cucumber Salad: For some freshness and crunch!
- Fruit: A big fruit salad is always a fun side.
Storage
- Fridge: Keep in a sealed container in the fridge for 3–4 days.
- Reheat: Warm in a pan or microwave until hot.

Equipment
- Large nonstick pan or wok
Ingredients
Sauce
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1-1/2 tablespoons light soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 3/4 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar gently packed
Stir Fry
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1/2 large yellow onion thinly sliced

- 2 cups rotisserie chicken thinly sliced or shredded

Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch and soy sauce until smooth. Add the rest of the sauce ingredients, whisk again, and set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large wok or pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced onion and sauté for 2 minutes. Add the frozen stir-fry veggies and cook according to package directions, about 6–7 minutes. At 6 minutes, stir in the garlic and ginger.
- Once the veggies are crisp-tender, add chicken and pour the sauce over top. Gently toss everything over medium-high heat until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients, about 2 minutes. Taste and add salt if needed.
- Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of Sriracha, if desired. Serve over rice (see note below).

Recipe Notes
Note 1: Use Dorot® frozen garlic and ginger cubes for convenience (6 cubes = 2 tablespoons). Pre-minced garlic and ginger paste also work well.
Note 2: Here’s the quickest/easiest way to get perfect basmati rice (must use basmati for this to work!)
- Fill a large pot with water and set to boil.
- Once water is at a rolling boil, salt the water and add rice.
- Boil without reducing the heat for 10 minutes (taste test to ensure it is tender), then drain and fluff with a fork. Easy!

What a great and easy meal. Everyone loved it. Will definitely keep in my routing.
I’m so thrilled to hear this! Thanks Liz!
This was excellent and so quick and easy! I was looking for something to use my rotisserie chicken for and my husband asked for stir fry, so I found this recipe. Did not have ginger paste on hand so substituted ground ginger, and added a few more veggies. Otherwise followed the recipe exactly, and this was a hit!! Thank you and I will definitely make this again!!
YAY!! So happy to hear this! Thanks so much Bobbi! 🙂
This is a fabulous idea. Having the already cooked chicken and frozen prepped veggies makes this so much easier/faster. I did use fresh garlic and ginger and played with the sauce ingredients, because I have a large assortment of Asian condiments, and the kind of time a retired person has, but totally owe you for the idea.
Thanks so much Sue! I’m so happy to hear this!
Very delicious and easy!
Thank you Cassy! 🙂
Great recipe. Lots of flavor and the fresh ginger and garlic makes it. Sriracha is a must and the sauce was amazing. Used broccoli, cabbage and carrots for veggies.
