Description

Mushrooms and frozen mixed vegetables bring added flavor to this Asian-inspired honey-garlic chicken stir-fry dish that's super easy to prepare.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
7 cloves garlic, sliced, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 tablespoons honey, or to taste
4 tablespoons soy sauce, divided, or to taste
2 (16 ounce) packages frozen Asian vegetable medley
1 cup sliced mushrooms
3 cups water
3 cups instant white rice (such as Minute®)

Directions

1 Heat olive oil in a wok over medium heat. Add chicken and garlic to hot oil; season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir until chicken is browned, about 5 minutes. Add honey and 1 tablespoon soy sauce; stir to coat chicken. Transfer chicken to a plate, leaving juices in the wok.
2 Add frozen vegetables, mushrooms, and remaining 3 tablespoons soy sauce to the wok. Cook and stir over medium heat until vegetables are crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, about 7 minutes.
3 Stir chicken back into the wok and cook until no longer pink in the centers and sauce is reduced, 5 to 10 minutes.
4 Meanwhile, stir together water and rice in a microwave-safe bowl until well combined. Cover and cook in the microwave on high until water is fully absorbed, about 5 minutes.
5 Serve chicken and vegetables over hot rice.
