Stir Fried Lemongrass Chicken

Submitted by Gidget265

"Adapted from cooking light recipe. Honestly one of the best dinners I've EVER made. Saving here with the adjustments I made... sometime soon I'm going to sub out the chicken for shrimp and use fish stock instead of chicken stock. I put all of this on top of (thai) rice noodles. 4 oz noodles and all the veg and chicken makes 2 HUGE servings. 16 WW points each. Less chicken or sub shrimp would reduce points..."
