Notes
Invent Your Recipe: The beauty of a chicken stir fry is that you can use any combination of ingredients you like. As long as you use a tasty sauce and cook everything together on really high heat you will have a flavor packed quick meal.I prefer the consistency and taste of brown rice, so that is my go to for recipes. I believe more people pair their stir fry with white rice. Give both a try, better yet, get create and try quinoa or couscous instead.
