Chicken Broccoli Stir-fry

Terri just whipped out a favorite at our house. This Chicken Broccoli Stir-fry is delicious and fast. We have this pretty regularly during the warmer weather. The flavors are good and it's not too out there or too asian to turn you off. Kids would enjoy this also.

While discussing the recipe Terr informed me that she has been cooking this recipe for over 15 years! The recipe actually came from a cook book that came with her first electric wok. The thing is so old, it's yellowed and stained. I literally had to type the recipe word for word.

I love our Asian inspired dishes here. We got a two person set when we were visiting China of the World Showcase in Disney's Epcot. We fell in love with this set and have been using it a lot with our Asian dishes. Here you see a side of pot stickers with dipping sauce and some edamame in the bowl.

So here's an old school recipe for you. We love it and it's definitely good eats!
