  • Use a large skillet: This will give the chicken and vegetables plenty of room to cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the chicken and vegetables will steam instead of fry, resulting in soggy food.
  • Cook the chicken in batches if necessary: If you have a lot of chicken to cook, you may need to cook it in batches. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through: The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Make sure the sauce is thickened before serving: If the sauce is too thin, you can thicken it by adding a cornstarch slurry or a small amount of flour.
  • Serve the chicken and vegetables over rice or noodles: This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:
