"I'm a new mom, and my schedule if very dependent upon our young son," relates Caroline Sperry from Shelby, Michigan. "So I like meals that can be ready in as little time as possible. This all-in-one stir-fry with a hint of sweetness from honey is a big time-saver."

This is one of our weeknight go-to recipes. It is fast and super yummy!

Nice, quick, standard weeknight fare. Fresh vegetables are always much better in stir-fry than the frozen bagged mixes. Try any combination of broccoli, red pepper, snap or snow peas, julienned carrots, celery or shelled edamame.

This was delicious. I doubled the sauce, used fresh produce, and left out the cornstarch and water, and everyone, including my three picky children, loved it.

Absolutely love this recipe!! Have made it several times and can't get enough of it. So easy! Because I haven't done much freezer cooking, could you freeze the chicken & veggies mixture (after it's all cooked up) to pull out and heat up for another day?

In the recipe, I just added some cauliflower, carrots, and peppers to it and it was complete! My entire family loved the meal :)

I love this recipe! I had cooked chicken to use up so I sauteed the vegetables in olive oil, added the chicken and then poured the sauce over everything. It worked great! Personally I would use equal parts of honey and soy sauce because I think it is plenty sweet. I also cut up fresh vegetables to use instead of frozen. Delicious!

Excellent recipe, I wish I had read the reviews before I made it then I could have doubled the sauce. A keeper. :)

I make this recipe probably twice a month! It's EXCELLENT. I've made a few changes to it though -- As others have stated, I double the garlic, honey & soy sauce. I also like to add 2 TBS of sesame seeds & 1 TSP of sesame seed oil to the chicken when I'm sauteing it. I prefer to use fresh veggies (bell peppers, onions, broccoli, snap peas & mushrooms). It takes like 7-8 minutes to stir fry them over frozen. I've used frozen before too and they're just as good! Seriously -- you won't be disappointed with this!!
