*Stir-fry blends typically include red pepper, sugar snap peas, and baby corn, and may be labeled as "Asian blend." If you cannot find a stir-fry mix, you can always substitute with your favorite vegetable medley or use fresh produce.

Pro tip: Add 3 green onions, thinly sliced, and 2 tablespoons of fresh chopped cilantro when sautéing the chicken for more flavor and depth.
