Expert Tips

Purchase precut chicken for stir-fry from the meat department of your supermarket and save time.

Boost flavor when you stir in 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules with the water, and omit salt. Add 1 teaspoon onion powder if you like.

    I used fresh veggies & regular long grain rice & chicken broth. I sautéed celery, carrot, red pepper, onion for about 5 minutes then added chicken & mushrooms, I seasoned with garlic pepper & old bay. When chicken was browned I added chicken broth & brought to a boil then topped with broccoli, covered the pan and cooked for 30 minutes. I sprinkled on the cheese and let sit for 10 minutes. My husband normally does not like this kind of one pan meal but he loved it.

    This is a good base recipe, I agree with those who said they made it without any extra spices and said it was bland. That being said, cooking the chicken with spices and diced garlic, then using a chicken boolean cube after you add the water and boil makes the difference. I also found that if you add frozen veggies and rice at the same time and take it off the burner the frozen veggies do not get hot enough. Instead, I added the water boiled it, added the veggies, boiled that and then added the rice and took it off the burner. It worked perfect!
