Chicken Stir-fry

Everyone loves a good stir-fry right? I know I do. It's a quick dinner to make especially on those nights where you are running around like a chicken with its head cut off. The following is a recipe that I have experimented with over the years.

Ingredients

1/3 c soy sauce

2 Tbsp brown sugar

1 clove garlic, crushed

1 tsp ginger

1 tsp cornstarch

1 1/2 lb chicken (cut into bite size)

1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 mixed bag of stir-fry veggies, frozen

Directions

Combine first six ingredients with 1/4 cup water in a bowl, mixing well. Marinate chicken in sauce for 10 minutes. (You can marinate overnight if you desire) 

Drain chicken, reserving marinade. Heat oil in skillet. Add chicken in small amounts to prevent crowding. Stir-fry until brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Add frozen veggies to hot skillet, stir-fry for 1 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water, cover and steam for 3 min or until veggies are tender crisp. Return chicken to skillet, adding marinade, heat through stirring constantly.

Serve over rice.
