This is an excellent way to use up leftover chicken. This is served up at our house at least once a month. We like it with mashed potatoes or rice and a green vegetable.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the vegetables will steam instead of sautéing, and they won't get that nice caramelized flavor.
  • Cook the vegetables in batches if necessary. This will help ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Add the poppy seed dressing just before serving. This will help prevent it from getting too thick or clumpy.
  • Serve immediately. This dish is best enjoyed fresh out of the pan.

This lightened-up veggie version of poppy seed chicken is a delicious and healthy meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's packed with flavor and nutrients, and it's easy to make. So next time you're looking for a healthy and tasty meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
