How To Make pineapple-citrus teriyaki chicken & veggie stir-fry

  • Step 2
    Cut the broccoli florets into bite-size pieces. Medium dice the onion Slice the carrots thinly, and on the diagonal.
  • Step 3
    Heat a large skillet on medium-high. Add enough butter and oil to stir-fry the vegetables Stir-fry broccoli, onions, and carrots til tender-crisp. Remove and set aside.
  • Step 4
    Cube chicken breasts, and salt and pepper them. In same skillet, add enough oil to stir-fry the chicken. Add chicken; when almost done, add vegetables back to skillet.
  • Step 5
    Pour sauce into skillet and stir to combine with the chicken and vegetables. Bring to a boil; cook, stirring, for a few minutes, to thicken the sauce.

  • Step 7
    *I sometimes use True Lemon crystals when I'm out of fresh lemon, lime, orange, or grapefruit juice. If you use these crystals, you DEFINITELY need to dilute with 1 1/2 cups of water; and, even if you use fresh juice, you can dilute some, according to your taste.
