Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, separated
  • 1 pound chicken, cubed
  • 1 16 oz. bag frozen stir fry vegetable blend
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seed oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 cup mixed nuts

Toppings (optional):

  • Soy sauce
  • Sesame seeds

Directions:

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat in a large sauté pan or wok.
  2. Add chicken and sauté until brown on the outside and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Stir frequently to avoid burning.
  3. Transfer cooked chicken to a bowl or plate, save juices.
  4. Add another 1 tablespoon oil to the same pan and heat on medium.
  5. Add frozen vegetables to pan. Be careful to avoid oil splattering, as ice will react to the hot oil.
  6. Sauté vegetables until cooked through, but still tender. About 8 minutes.
  7. Return chicken to the pan, along with saved juices.
  8. Turn the stovetop to low and add cooked rice, sesame
