Notes

This dish can be made with chicken thighs for a juicier option. Store any leftover sauce separately to prevent sogginess in the stir fry. Add other vegetables like snap peas or mushrooms for variety. This recipe is freezer-friendly; just make sure to thaw it overnight before reheating. Keep the cooked chicken and vegetables separate from the rice until you are ready to eat for better texture.
