Nutty Chicken Stir Fry

I love stir fry! After you get done with all the chopping, it is so easy to throw everything into the pan and stir fry it up... So, whenever I find a recipe that involves stir fry and chicken, it is definitely one I want to try. This was a good one. It didn't require a ton of chopping, so that made it even better in my book! I was also amazed at how much my kids LOVE cabbage... What is up with that? Bella and Beau both kept coming back to my chopping board and asking for more - I mean, it was like a snack to them! Weirdos! :)
