Submitted by WendyMaq

"From "The South Beach Diet" copyright 2003. Phase two recipe. I've had difficulty locating this particular medley of frozen vegetables. The only vegetables to avoid: beets, corn, and potatoes."

• 1⁄2 lb cooked chicken breast, 1/8 inch slices

directions

1. Heat a large, heavy skillet or wok over high heat until water sizzles when dropped on the metal.
2. Add 1 1/2 Tablespoons of the oil and tilt the pan gently in all directions until the oil has coated the surface.

4. Remove chicken to a bowl.
5. Add remaining oil to the skillet. When hot, add frozen vegetable mix and stir fry for about 4 minutes, until the larger pieces are cooked through.
6. Return chicken to skillet, add water and soy. Stir fry for an additional 2 minutes.
