Chicken & Veggie Stir-Fry

When you need dinner on the table fast, takeout is often the easiest option. But with our chicken and veggie stir-fry recipe, you can recreate a flavorful dish in the comfort of your own kitchen that’s just as fast as takeout. Succulent white meat is perfectly seared to a golden brown, then mixed with mushrooms and broccoli florets in a savory sauce of soy sauce, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, and sesame oil. Served over hot steamed rice or noodles, this is a complete and satisfying meal. The best part? You can customize this recipe based on what’s in your fridge, whether swapping the chicken for tofu or shrimp or choosing your favorite mix of veggies.
