Tasty Chicken Stir fry

Stir fry is a mainstay at our house.  I usually make it in some form at least once a week.  I found this delicious stir fry recipe and it would work with just about any meat and veggie combo.  My family loves chicken thighs and prefer them to white meat.  
Another thing I found helpful is the prepackaged fresh veggies at Kroger.  I usually balk at those packages thinking 'why would anyone do that' but when I figured how much it would be be to purchase each veggie separately and chop it up I decided to try it.  The package stays "Asian Stir fry" and it's got peppers, carrots, celery, mushrooms, sugar snap peas, zucchini, and cabbage.  I was impressed and it saved me a lot of time this evening.
