This was very good! My friend gave me a bag of lemons from her tree... so I am going lemon crazy. that is what led me to this recipe. I added sliced red pepper and onion. I also substituted olive for canola oil. Thank you for sharing, we will make it again.

Very good stir fry. It didn't send us over the moon, but it was quite enjoyable. This fed a crowd of 7 tonight (2 unexpected guests) and I used a pound of boneless chicken. There was no shortage of chicken. I added some red pepper strips for color. A couple folks wanted additional soy sauce at the table. Thanks for posting!
