Garden Chicken Stir-Fry

Garden Chicken Stir-Fry

“Udon noodles are similar to spaghetti so if you can't find them, spaghetti works just as well. Would you believe we couldn't find zucchini at the store? So, we substituted summer squash for testing this recipe. It was so good! If you run into this too, definitely use this swap. The eggplant tastes great with the squash. Both absorb the flavor of the sweet and salty teriyaki sauce. Plate the stir-fry on the noodles for an easy dinner. You even serve this with white rice.” - Kitchen Crew
