The secret to making the chicken extra tasty is to coat it in egg white and cornflour and then shallow-fry it to give it a crispy coating. However, if you are pushed for time, just add the raw chicken after the onion in the stir-fry and fry until it turns opaque, and then add the rest of the ingredients.
