When asked take-out or take-in, you know which one gets my vote.  Tonight we feasted on Chicken Stir Fry with Brown Rice and a side of Edamame.  The whole dish took about 30 minutes from start to finish and was tastier, and better for you, than any take out I have had in a while.

By using some frozen veggies (broccoli and edamame) and instant rice, this recipe lends itself to a quick weeknight meal with minimal prep time. 

No guilty feelings afterwards and quick clean up.  Wok and roll!
