Tue, 21 May 2013 01:00:09 +0000

A good stir-fry makes a great dinner on a weeknight, giving you lots of delicious leftovers for tomorrow's lunch, and you get to use up any leftover veggies hanging around the fridge. But not all stir-fries are created equally. I'm pretty picky about my stir-fries, and have spent plenty of years developing the tastiest Thai sauces and combinations possible. This Thai Lime Chicken Stir-Fry is always a hit, no matter how picky the diners happen to be. It features the flavor of lime which is so wonderful with chicken, and of course it includes vegetables so you get everything you need. Just pair it up with rice or noodles and get ready to savor this delicious, aromatic dish. Enjoy! (photo & recipe of Thai Lime Chicken Stir-Fry with Rice, by D.Schmidt)
