Ingredients
Scale
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups precooked chicken, such as rotisserie-style, diced

- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar

- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a wok or large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over high heat. Add the chicken, rice, and frozen vegetables and cook, stirring constantly, until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
