Oriental Chicken

I like to keep a supply of cooked chicken in the freezer for nights when I have only a short time to get dinner on the table. This takes just 20 minutes from start to finish if you have cooked chicken on hand. If you do have to prepare the chicken, it still whips up fast. Boil some rice while this simmers for a complete meal.

Oriental Chicken
2 c cooked, cubed chicken
1/2 c soy sauce
1/4 c packed brown sugar
2 cloves minced garlic
8 oz can tomato sauce
16 oz bag frozen stir-fry vegetables
cooked rice

In a large skillet, place the cooked chicken. Combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic and tomato sauce. Pour over chicken and stir. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the frozen vegetables. Bring again to a boil, then simmer for another 10 minutes. Serve over hot, cooked rice.
