Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture. Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices will make a big difference in the final dish.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken is a delicate protein and can easily be overcooked. Cook it just until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure it stays tender and juicy.
  • Use a Wok or Large Skillet: A wok or large skillet will allow you to cook the chicken and vegetables quickly and evenly. If you don't have a wok or large skillet, you can use a regular saucepan, but you may need to cook the ingredients in batches.
  • Add the Sauce at the End: Adding the sauce at the end of the cooking process will help to prevent it from burning and will also allow the flavors to meld together.
