Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large skillet, blend the herb with garlic soup mix with water.
- Bring to a boil and continue boiling, stirring for 1 minute until thickened.
- Add the chicken breasts, cut into strips.
- Add partially thawed and drained frozen vegetables (e.g., broccoli, cauliflower, carrots).
- Cook uncovered, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Serve over hot cooked rice.
Tips & Substitutions
For a flavorful twist, consider adding soy sauce or sesame oil to the mix. If you don't have Lipton soup mix, a blend of garlic powder and dried herbs can be used as a substitute. You can also switch the chicken for tofu for a vegetarian option, or try using different frozen vegetables to suit your taste, such as bell peppers or snap peas. This dish is a great base for experimenting with other stir-fry recipes.
Serving Suggestions
This stir-fry pairs beautifully with hot cooked rice, but you can also serve it over noodles for a different texture. Consider garnishing with sliced green onions or sesame seeds for added flavor and crunch. For a complete meal, serve alongside Egg Drop Soup With Peas to complement the flavors. Feel free to adjust the spice level by adding chili flakes or sriracha if you enjoy some heat.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover stir-fry can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply microwave until heated through or warm in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water if the dish seems dry. Avoid overcooking during reheating to keep the chicken tender and the vegetables crisp.
