Chicken Stir-Fry with Frozen Veggies

A pound of chicken breast or thigh ($3), a bag of frozen stir-fry vegetables ($2), soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and rice. Total: about $7. The frozen vegetables are already cut and often flash-frozen at peak nutrition, so skip the guilt about not buying fresh. Cook the chicken first, set it aside, blast the vegetables in the same pan on high heat, add sauce, combine. Serve over rice. The whole thing takes 20 minutes and produces a meal that looks like you ordered delivery.
