"(Diabetic Friendly) I really enjoy stir frys and this one is really good with the addition of the lemon juice. I usually put this on brown rice. Easy, tasty and healthy!"

I made this last night and served over pasta for a little change. Really enjoyed the flavor of the dish with the lemon and and parsley but we thought that it was a little dry. Would have preferred to have a bit more sauce. Not a problem though next time we will add chicken broth and cornstarch to make a quick sauce. Will be adding this one to my favorites cookbook and making again in the future.

I substituted the veg oil for sesame oil, changed the mushrooms to broccoli, added 3 T terrayaki sauce, and 1 can of water chestnuts for some extra crunch.

This was delicious! Zesty and fresh while maintaining the integrity of the vegetables. I served it with warm tortillas and some reduced fat shredded cheese to make fajitas. This has been a frequent request by my non veggie loving boys! YUM!

I loved this. We didn't have mushrooms so included broccoli instead and found this to be absolutely delicious. Also mixed a little soy sauce and wasabi and dribbled over the top for extra zesty flavoring!

Wow - this made a huge skilletful of yummy stir fry! I reduced the chicken to 8oz and my family of three ate this all up last night over white rice. I loved the simple lemon, cumin and oregano flavors, although I did feel the need to add a couple dashes of soy sauce to mine. Like Uh Oh Maggie, my cooking time took took a bit longer than stated. Thanks for a tasty new chicken stir fry recipe!
