Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 10 ounce chicken breast (cut into 1-inch pieces)
• 2 cup frozen stir-fry vegetable blend
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 cup quick-cook white rice

Instructions

1. Prepare the quick-cook white rice according to package directions.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add the frozen stir-fry vegetable blend to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables are tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
4. While vegetables cook, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth.
5. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and vegetables, about 1-2 minutes.
6. Serve the sweet and savory chicken stir-fry immediately over the prepared white rice.

Notes

To make this even faster, use pre-cooked chicken breast. Adjust honey and rice vinegar to balance sweet and tangy to your liking.
