Stir Fry Protein Rich Sesame Chicken

Our first morning in Green Valley (south of Tucson) brought a surprise overnight 2 inch snowfall. It's quite rare for snow to fall this far south in Arizona. Lucky we still have all our Minnesota gear. Guess we traded one state snowfall

for another state snowfall.

Stir-Fry Sesame Chicken Dish

Cook's Notes:Protein rich chicken and fresh veggies tossed with a flavorful Asian style sauce. Serve the stir-fry over steamed rice, cellophane or chow mein noodles. Garnish with diced green onions and chopped peanuts.  
Cooking Tip:For easier assembly prep all your ingredients ahead. I used a prepared sauce Kung Pao Stir-Fry Sauce (Asian section of grocery store) and Green Giant Stir-Fry Veggie Mix (produce section grocery store) for two shortcuts that make meal preparation easier. Adding in more Asian sauce is personal preference.
