EASY STIR-FRIED CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES
This is a recipe that I made frequently on days that I had off from school and/ or work. I used it because it was quick and easy to prepare, cook, and enjoy. If prepared right, it is also good for people trying to watch their weight. I know it was for me. I came up with it just by finding what i had in my freezer and throwing it all together... The cooking time says 10 minutes, but i think it should take less than that. It should take in between 5 and 10 minutes. And for the vegetables, you can get single bags of frozen vegetables (I used broccoli stir-fry) in a grocery store near you.

Tips:
- Use high-quality frozen vegetables. Frozen vegetables that are flash-frozen at their peak freshness will retain more nutrients and flavor than vegetables that have been stored for a long time or that have been frozen multiple times.
- Thaw the vegetables before cooking. This will help them to cook more evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Use a large skillet or wok. This will give the vegetables plenty of room to cook without overcrowding.
- Use a high heat setting. This will help to sear the vegetables and lock in their flavor.
- Stir-fry the vegetables in small batches. This will help to prevent them from becoming overcooked.
- Add the sauce at the end of cooking. This will help to prevent the sauce from burning.
- Serve immediately. Stir-fries are best served hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
Chicken stir-fry with frozen vegetables is a quick, easy, and healthy meal that can be made in under 30 minutes. It's a great way to use up leftover chicken and vegetables, and it's also a good option for busy weeknights. With a little planning, you can have a delicious and nutritious stir-fry on the table in no time.
