This stir-fry is full of veggies and great over rice or quinoa. Leftovers make an excellent take-to-work (or school) lunch.

  1. Heat a wok or large deep skillet over medium-high heat until a drop of water sizzles in pan. Add 7 ml (1 1/2 tsp) oil, swirling to coat pan. Sprinkle chicken with sate; add to wok and stir-fry until lightly browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
