Expert Tips

Marinating--even for as little as 15 minutes--adds flavor and makes for juicier chicken. The acid in the marinade helps break down chicken's tough muscle fibers.

Make sure not to overcrowd your skillet; adding too many stir-fry ingredients at once brings down the temperature. If you have too many ingredients for your pan, cook ingredients in batches.

I just made this recipe and it was delicious. It was quick and easy. My husband loved it ( and he doesn't care for chicken). Will make this again. I mixed salsa and picante to give it a spicier taste. Excellent!!!!! Will make it again.

Definitely something I will make again. The whole family liked it. A few tried it served in a tortilla with sour cream and enjoyed it that way too. Thanks!
