Can I freeze this chicken stir-fry meal prep?

You can, but I don't recommend it—the veggies turn mushy when thawed. This recipe really shines fresh. If you must freeze, skip the snap peas (they get weird) and pack just the chicken with sauce in airtight bags for up to 2 months.

What are your favorite veggie swaps?

Oh boy, where do I start? Shredded cabbage cooks up crispy, mushrooms add meatiness, and baby corn brings fun texture. In winter, I use cubed butternut squash (microwave it first). Just keep the total veggie amount about 3 cups total.

How do I keep the chicken from drying out?

Three secrets: 1) Don't overcook it initially—leave it slightly underdone before adding veggies 2) Cut uniform strips so they cook evenly 3) That sesame oil drizzle at the end is magic for moisture.

Can I use frozen vegetables?

Fresh is best for texture, but in a pinch? Sure—just thaw and pat them dry first. Frozen peppers and onions work better than frozen broccoli (which gets waterlogged).
