  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the chicken and vegetables in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. This will help the ingredients cook evenly.
  • Use a nonstick skillet: This will help prevent the chicken and vegetables from sticking to the pan.
  • Serve immediately: Mandarin chicken skillet is best served immediately after it is cooked. The chicken will be tender and juicy, and the vegetables will be crisp.
