What You'll Need

2 tablespoons sesame or vegetable oil
4 skinned and boned chicken breast halves, cut into thin strips
1 (2.25-ounce) package sliced almonds
1 (16-ounce) package frozen broccoli, carrots, and water chestnuts
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup pineapple juice
Hot cooked rice

What to Do

Pour oil around top of a preheated wok, coating sides, or in a large nonstick skillet. Heat briefly at medium-high (375 degrees).
Add chicken and almonds; cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes. Add frozen vegetables; cover and cook 4 minutes, stirring once.
Combine cornstarch and next 4 ingredients; add to wok. Cook, stirring constantly, 2 to 3 minutes or until mixture thickens.

Serve over rice.

Notes

Stir-frying cooks food in a small amount of oil over high heat with constant stirring. Make sure the chicken strips are uniform in shape and size. Then the chicken will cook evenly and in the same length of time as the vegetables.
