Prepare Ingredients.
Wash and pat dry the chicken breast. Cut it into bite-sized strips or cubes for even cooking. Rinse the mixed vegetables if fresh, and cut any large pieces into bite-sized portions. Mince the garlic clove finely. Measure out the cooked jasmine rice and set aside.
Tip: Cutting the chicken into uniform pieces helps it cook evenly and quickly. -
Cook the Chicken.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken pieces in a single layer. Let them sear without moving for about 2 minutes, then stir and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside.
Tip: Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure the chicken browns nicely instead of steaming. -
Add Garlic and Vegetables.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the chicken and stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then add the mixed vegetables. Stir-fry everything together for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp but still bright and colorful.
Tip: Keep the heat high enough to quickly cook the vegetables while retaining their crunch. -
Add Soy Sauce and Combine.
Pour the soy sauce evenly over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything in the sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Tip: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, but soy sauce usually provides enough saltiness. -
Serve with Jasmine Rice.
Divide the cooked jasmine rice evenly between two plates or bowls. Spoon the chicken and vegetable stir fry over the rice. Serve immediately while hot.
Tip: Warm the rice slightly before serving if it has cooled.
