Honey Ginger Chicken Stir Fry #ImprovCookingChallenge

I love stir fry meals because they are so easy, delicious and nutritious.  This chicken and vegetable stir fry with a sauce featuring honey and ginger is a keeper.

It's time for the Improv Cooking Challenge.........

Each month we are given ingredients chosen by Nichole of Cookaholic Wife and sent on our way to create the best recipe we can.  This month's ingredients are Honey and Ginger.  Let's see what everyone cooked up.......

• Cookaholic Wife: Cranberry Ginger Pork Tenderloin 
• A Day in the Life on the Farm: Honey Ginger Chicken Stir Fry 
• Sneha’s Recipe: Winter Bahar 
• Magical Ingredients: Sesame Ginger Honeynut Squash

I must confess that I did not make this stir fry.  When I first came home from the hospital, after being run down by a truck, I was unable to do too much of anything.  Luckily my husband is very capable and the best care giver in the world.  He took over all the housework, all the cooking, and all the personal needs that I couldn't attend to myself.

The recipe for the sauce came from Inquiring Chef but Frank was only cooking for the 2 of us so he halved the amounts in the original recipe and decided to add some vegetables because he knew that would make me very happy.

He used bits and pieces of vegetables he found in the crisper drawer of the refrigerator.  You can, of course, use any vegetables you have on hand.  You will need about 1/2-1 cup per person being served.

You can make this meal for 2 following the recipe provided or for as many as you want by increasing the amount of ingredients accordingly.  It is a quick easy meal for a family during the week or for a larger gathering during the weekend.  Enjoy......
