Recipe Yield: 4 servings
INGREDIENTS
12 oz pre-cooked BBQ teriyaki chicken, chopped
16 oz frozen vegetable stir-fry mix
3 cups cooked brown rice
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Sauté the chicken & veggies: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the frozen vegetable stir-fry mix and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened. Add the pre-cooked BBQ teriyaki chicken and continue cooking for 5-6 minutes until the veggies are tender-crisp and the chicken is heated through.
2. Enhance the flavor: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. For extra flavor, drizzle in a splash of soy sauce or a teaspoon of sesame oil. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
3. Serve over rice: Warm the cooked brown rice and divide it among four plates. Spoon the stir-fry mixture over the rice and garnish with sesame seeds, chopped green onions, or a squeeze of fresh lime.
HELPFUL TIPS TO PERFECT THIS RECIPE
- Crispier veggies? For better texture, stir-fry the frozen vegetables in a dry pan for the first 2 minutes to let excess moisture evaporate before adding the chicken.
- Sauce it up! If you love extra sauce, mix 1 tablespoon teriyaki sauce + 1 teaspoon soy sauce and drizzle it over the dish before serving.
- Perfect pairings: Serve this stir-fry with a side of miso soup, edamame, or a crunchy Asian slaw for a complete meal.
