I like stir-frys, but I have to be careful not to make them too much because I find I grow tired of them quickly. This particular stir-fry is one that I could eat often, it's very tasty and reminds me of the type of chicken and shrimp I would order for take out. It's packed with veggies and has a very flavorful sauce. I will caution that it doesn't make for the best leftovers, so if you don't plan to cook for a lot of people, you might want to halve this, it makes quite a bit.
And I realized that I have now posted two pictures of my son, but none of my little princess, so here is her debut. She's a hoot and always has something interesting to say!
Have a wonderful weekend ya'll!

1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup orange juice

12 oz skinless-boneless chicken breasts, but into 1-inch pieces
2 cups coarsely chopped broccoli
1 cup chopped carrot
1 cup mushrooms halved

Directions
1. To prepare sauce, combine the first 11 ingredients in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Set aside.
2. To prepare stir-fry, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken to pan, and stir-fry for 4 minutes until done.
