Chicken & Vegetables with White Sauce
Yield: 4 Servings
Adapted from Fortunecooking
A very simple clean tasting stir fry made with vegetables and left-over chicken. Your choice of vegetables. I usually use broccoli, snow peas, mushrooms, carrots, celery and sometimes water chestnuts.
My white sauce was not as white as the original. It is fixed now. 😊 😊
