Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves – cut into 1/2 inch pieces

Step 1
Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat; cook the chicken and carrots in the hot oil until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the carrots are tender, about 5 minutes.
