Fast & Easy Chicken Stir Fry

This recipe is adapted from one I’ve linked you to before. The original comes from the Kraft website, but, as I usually do, I modified the recipe for my family.

I added more veggies and left out a few things we don’t care for (like the peanuts the Kraft recipe calls for)

It’s a quick fix for dinner on a busy night. Prep to table in less than 30 minutes.

And my kids (and SuperMan) love it. Which is always a good thing.

I love the leftovers. I think it tastes better the next day.

As I mentioned before, I am working on something cooking-related and I can’t wait to share the details with you… but I want it to be a little further along before I do…

So we’ll both have to be patient, eh?

Here’s the recipe. Let me know how you like it if you try it out.

Yummy! This is very simlar to a regular stir-fry that I make for us here. I don't use sesame seeds - though I do put a little toasted sesame oil in. I will buy some sesame seeds and give them a try - should add a little extra "something" to the recipe. We use Chinese medium egg noodles, rather than angel-hair pasta. Otherwise, it is very similar - and we love it too!
Thanks for sharing!

BTW I love the new photo of you on your sidebar - you look so suuuuuper!

I almost used sesame oil last night, but I already had the vegetable oil in the pan. I'll have to try that next time.
Thanks!!
