Chicken Teriyaki Stir Fry

I came home late from work the other day so I had only a short time to fix dinner for my family. I also had a lot of chicken in the freezer, so I decided to thaw it in the morning and make this dish after getting home from work. This chicken teriyaki stir-fry recipe is a simple and easy dish to make if pressed for time. It only took me 25 minutes to have a delicious and healthy dinner ready. Many of the ingredients that I used were already in the pantry, which made it even easier to make. I used chicken breast in this recipe, but you could also use chicken thighs instead for a different texture.
