Chicken Stir-Fry

This dish is probably my favourite meal! Pizza, pasta...forget those meals! Here is a great meal that is really quite healthy! It is filling, it is fun to make, fun to eat and eating it with chopsticks is the best part! Add a few tiny pieces of chilli and garlic and you've got a meal made! Here is the recipe, so don't waste any time! I can make this meal quite easily as it is so straight-forward! The chopping takes a while but otherwise it is fairly easy! How about making your family a great meal sometime during these christmas holidays?
