Honey-Nut Chicken Stir-Fry
"I got a wok for Christmas and can't wait to try this stir fry from Light and healthy magazine. According to magazine One serving (1 cup chicken mixture, calculated without rice) equals 348 calories,
I will serve it with a serving of brown rice. To watch calories I will probably cut back the suggeted serving to 3/4 cup of the chicken mixture."

This was just okay for us. The orange juice gave it a sort of weird tang for me. Left out the peanuts by mistake but I don't know if it would it would have made a difference. Felt like it was missing something, maybe some sort of spice... -
Very good! We enjoyed this very much. The orange juice, honey and peanuts create a nice flavor. I did add a bit more cornstarch to get it to thicken. Thank you for the recipe. Made for PRMR.

I am the mother of two beautiful boys. I love to bake and cook which has helped me to become very overweight.
I have lost 50 pounds this past year and have been learning to cook "lighter". We still enjoy many of the same dishes we used to. However, I have learned portion control and how to make suttle changes to my recipes that don't affect the flavor.
