Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound chicken breast (boneless, skinless, cut into 1-inch pieces)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (ground)
- 12 ounce frozen mixed vegetables
- 3 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 microwaveable white rice pouches
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Season 1 pound chicken breast with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Add to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
- Add 1 (12 ounce) bag frozen mixed vegetables to the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp.
- While vegetables cook, in a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the sauce over everything and toss to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Prepare 2 (8 ounce) pouches microwaveable white rice according to package directions. Serve the ginger-soy chicken and vegetables over the prepared rice.
Notes
You can add a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds or chopped green onions as a garnish if desired for extra flavor and presentation.
