**Prepare the chicken (if using)**: In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken thighs. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.

**Sauté the vegetables**: In the same skillet, add the mixed frozen veggies, cauliflower, and broccoli. Pour in soy sauce, white rice vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Sauté until the veggies are heated through and slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
