Cooking Chicken Stir Fry

From time to time I make Chicken Stir Fry (see image above). In a separate pan I will whip up rice to go with it. (Alas, I do not own a rice cooker.) Perhaps it doesn't count but I cheat and use Green Giant Create A Meal! Stir-Fry Teriyaki. Basically, I cook the chicken and add the frozen vegetables and sauce that comes in the package. The meal is incredibly easy and quick to make. Nate loves it. I love it. We both fill our bellies until the point of full capacity.

On one occasion in the past we went all out and cooked up Chicken Stir Fry with use of each individual ingredient. There were no prepackaged shortcuts. Everything was made through the fruits of our labor. Nate did all the chopping and cleaning. I yelled out all the instructions. The meal ended up being very tasty but I wouldn’t say it tasted better than the frozen food method. So, I don’t know which way is better. If I’m in a hurry I’ll probably go the quick and dirty route but if I have time I might try my hand at real cooking.

If you need to read up on how to successfully use frozen vegetables go here. If the notion of using frozen vegetables absolutely horrifies you then I apologize. Please understand I am a nitwit in the kitchen. A nitwit who wishes she could cook like Emeril.
