Almond Chicken Stir-Fry

SUBMITTED BY: Margaret Wilson PHOTO BY: Katie Kelsey!

"Margaret Wilson of Hemet, California shared the recipe for this yummy mainstay. Pineapple juice, ginger and soy sauce lend a slightly tangy flavor to the chicken strips and veggies in this pretty blend. A package of frozen vegetables speeds along the prep time, making this a quick meal for busy weeknights."
