Typically I never have any ingredients on hand when I’m wanting to try out a new dish. I broke out a cookbook from America’s Test Kitchen and found the Chicken Teriyaki Stir Fry. Luckily I had the majority of the ingredients on hand to try out. I just didn’t included jalapeños since my kids don’t like spicy food. This recipe was a hit with my family as well as my friend who tried it today. 🙂
