Inspired by some other stir-fry experiments, this is an attempt to recreate a Chinese takeout favorite from a restaurant I no longer live close to. Other veggies can be added as you like.

  • 0.25 teaspoons curry powder
  • 2 pounds skinless , boneless chicken breast meat - cut into cubes
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
