To prepare, simply empty the contents of the package into a non-stick skillet. Heat the skillet over medium-high heat. Stir the contents occasionally as they cook and thaw. The meal is ready when everything is heated through and the vegetables are tender-crisp. This usually takes about 8 to 10 minutes. Avoid overcooking to maintain the best texture of the chicken and vegetables. It is designed to be cooked directly from its frozen state.

How to keep the rest
After opening, any unused portion should be transferred to an airtight container and refrigerated. It is best to consume the leftovers within 1 to 2 days. Ensure the container is properly sealed to prevent freezer burn or contamination if refreezing is attempted, though refreezing is not recommended.
