Ground Chicken Stir Fry
I currently live in a town that has NO good food options and the only Chinese restaurant that was worth the time unfortunately had a fire and are no longer open. So when I kept getting umami cravings I had to make do and make my own versions that werent too coomplicated and yummy enough for my kids to eat. It makes a great easy week night dinner and makes wonderful leftovers for your work lunch. This recipe hit the spot! I had to write the recipe down and share it with you all. I hope you enjoy it!
