Great flavor! We really enjoyed this for dinner tonight. I added in some green beans and yellow squash that I needed to use up (one facet of stir frys that I love...just load it up with all kinds of veggies!). I used sliced almonds and shredded chicken that was leftover. Thanks so much for a great recipe!

Glad you tried this one, Rochelle! It's one of my fave stir fries. Simple in prep and flavor, but so so good!
