Reviews
I cut up the veggies, cubed the chicken early in the day and refrigerated, so dinner was a snap to make last night. My husband commented that this was a wonderful dinner but needed more sauce. I agree and will increase sauce next time when serving with rice. Also, will add more bean sprouts and will slice my onions vertically instead of chopping. And a sprinkle of peanuts, a shake of sesame seeds, or some sliced green onion might style up its appearance, as well. I just browned the chicken for about 2-3 minutes, but didn’t cook all the way through. It goes back in later, I didn’t want to end up with overcooked chicken breast, and the chicken turned out fork tender and juicy. Thanks for sharing, we enjoyed your stir fry.
