If it's been a long day, you're tired and fancy something fast and easy; this should be your go-to from now on. If you need a quick meal to fit in with your hectic lifestyle; this is also the meal for you. If you just fancy some tasty chicken cooked in an Oriental style; pick this dish. Speedy and delicious, this is a great recipe to jazz up leftover chicken from the Sunday roast. A chicken stir fry is a fairly standard meal, but this recipe shows you how to liven it up a bit. Three flavoursome sauces combine in this dish, with added lime for that extra tang which marks this stir fry a a little bit different. This dish is a healthier, cheaper alternative to a Chinese takeaway, with all the tastes of the Orient. It's a great way to get children to eat their vegetables (disguised by flavoursome sauces), however you may need to amend the sauce recipe for younger tastebuds.
