HONEY-CITRUS CHICKEN STIR-FRY
This is so quick, so healthy, and I literally had ALL the pantry ingredients on hand. If you keep chicken breasts in the freezer and OJ in the fridge, you've probably got all the stuff. You could use pre-sliced veggies to make this really fast. Be aware that this makes a very scant four servings (you may need to up the ingredients accordingly). (EDIT 11/07 - After the first review, I noticed I goofed on the ingredients. It has since been corrected.)

HONEY-GINGER CHICKEN STIR-FRY
When I was first married, we didn't have a working oven or grill, so I had to use the stovetop for everything. After a few months of the same thing, I needed some new ideas and developed this simple chicken stir-fry. I make half of it when we're home alone and can easily double it for company. -April Walcher, Hutchinson, Kansas

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. If you can, buy organic produce and free-range chicken.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're stir-frying, it's important to give the ingredients enough space to cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the food will steam instead of fry.
- Use a high heat: Stir-frying is a quick-cooking method, so you need to use a high heat to get the best results. A well-seasoned wok is ideal for stir-frying, but you can also use a large skillet.
- Stir constantly: This will help prevent the food from sticking to the pan and burning.
- Add the sauce at the end: This will help prevent the sauce from burning. If you add the sauce too early, it will start to caramelize and become bitter.
Conclusion:
Honey citrus chicken stir-fry is a delicious and healthy meal that can be made in just 30 minutes. It's a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it's also a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try.
