Chinese Chicken Stir Fry is a quick supper. Just about any vegetables will do. It's all in the sauce.
Chinese Chicken Stir Fry is one of our family favorites.
Chinese Chicken Stir Fry
Hi. It's Lois, telling you about a wonderful stir fry we call Chinese Chicken Stir Fry. Our daughter Roni loves this recipe, and when she lived at home, she asked for it all the time.
The vegetables vary each time because I usually use whatever vegetables I have in the refrigerator. My refrigerator was pretty bare today so I used some frozen vegetables instead of fresh ones. Learn how to make the sauce and it will always be awesome. The hardest part is chopping the veggies.
What You Need
For this recipe, you need knives, a cutting board, measuring cups and spoons, a wire whisk and a big sauté pan or a wok. Kitchen Bouquet Browning and Seasoning Sauce (affiliate link) is a useful flavoring to keep on hand. It makes gravy brown and adds a wonderful flavor to it.
