  5. Add 2 tablespoons soy sauce to the vegetables and stir to combine.
  6. Transfer the cooked vegetables to a separate platter and set aside.

  8. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until cooked through and lightly browned.
  9. Return the cooked vegetables to the skillet.
  10. Add 1/2 cup chicken broth (or water) to the skillet.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
