HONEY-CITRUS CHICKEN STIR-FRY
This is so quick, so healthy, and I literally had ALL the pantry ingredients on hand. If you keep chicken breasts in the freezer and OJ in the fridge, you've probably got all the stuff. You could use pre-sliced veggies to make this really fast. Be aware that this makes a very scant four servings (you may need to up the ingredients accordingly). (EDIT 11/07 - After the first review, I noticed I goofed on the ingredients. It has since been corrected.)

When I was first married, we didn't have a working oven or grill, so I had to use the stovetop for everything. After a few months of the same thing, I needed some new ideas and developed this simple chicken stir-fry. I make half of it when we're home alone and can easily double it for company. -April Walcher, Hutchinson, Kansas

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured out. This will help you stay organized and make the cooking process go more smoothly.
- Use a large skillet or wok: A large skillet or wok will allow you to cook all of the ingredients evenly without overcrowding them.
- Cook the chicken in batches: If you're using a lot of chicken, cook it in batches so that it doesn't overcrowd the pan and cook evenly.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook it until it's just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe is a great way to use up any vegetables you have on hand. Some good choices include broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, snap peas, and zucchini.
- Make the sauce ahead of time: The sauce for this stir-fry can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This will save you time when you're ready to cook.
- Serve over rice or noodles: This stir-fry is traditionally served over rice or noodles. However, you can also serve it over quinoa, cauliflower rice, or your favorite grain.

Honey citrus chicken stir-fry is a delicious and healthy meal that's perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner.
