In wok or skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add garlic and stir-fry 10 seconds, add all other vegetables and continue to stir-fry for 2 to 3 more minutes.
Make a well in the center of stir-fry, pushing vegetables to sides. Stir seasoning sauce and then pour into well. Stir constantly until sauce thickens and boils. Then mix sauce thoroughly with vegetables. Do not mix sauce into stir fry until sauce thickens or it will not cook properly. Add chicken and mix.
