Quick Garden Chicken Stir Fry

June 15, 2016  |  Tonight Nico’s friend is coming over with her parents. The two kids are re-enacting an episode of Chopped Junior. They will be making a dessert each so we have large bowls of strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, and nuts prepared for their mystery basket. But I still need to feed them dinner before we start the competition. Quick garden stir fry is my time saving solution and of course cucumber salad since I still have so many of them ripe and needing to be picked. — Florencia
