  • Heat oil in a wok over medium heat. Add chicken and garlic, and season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir until chicken is browned, about 5 minutes. Add honey and 1 tablespoon soy sauce; stir to coat chicken. Transfer chicken to a plate, leaving juices in the wok.
  • Add frozen vegetables, mushrooms, and remaining soy sauce to the wok. Cook and stir over medium heat until vegetables are crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, about 7 minutes.
  • Stir chicken back into the wok and cook until no longer pink in the centers and sauce has reduced, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, stir water and rice together in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover and cook in the microwave on high until water is fully absorbed, about 5 minutes.
  • Serve chicken and vegetables over hot rice.
