Stir Fry Recipe with Frozen Vegetables
Description
The recipe starts by browning diced chicken breast and onions in olive oil on medium-high heat, ensuring the chicken is cooked through and onions become translucent. Frozen mixed vegetables are added and heated until thawed and warmed, integrating the mix of textures and flavors.
The stir-fry sauce combines chicken stock with sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, dried ginger, and cornstarch. Once whisked smooth, the sauce is poured over the chicken and vegetables and brought to a boil, thickening to coat the ingredients evenly. This results in a savory glaze with balanced sweetness, warmth from ginger, and umami notes from soy sauce.
The dish is served hot, typically over rice or noodles, providing a convenient and complete meal. Adjustments to saltiness can be made by tasting before adding salt, as soy sauce contributes salt naturally. Using low-sodium soy sauce is a recommended option to control salt levels.

- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion diced
- 1 lb chicken breast diced
- 24 oz frozen vegetables I used Birds Eye Steamfresh Asian Medley, Asian variety

Instructions

- For the sauce, whisk all ingredients together until smooth.
