Chicken and Vegetable Stir-Fry

Old faithful, Cooking Light Magazine! We can't order Chinese out take out any more because a lot of Chinese food is cooked with oyster or fish sauce and my husband can't eat that due to allergies; not to mention the sodium and calorie content. I am still trying to find the perfect at home Asian recipe. The kids love the flavors and as long as I present it as rice, vegetables and chicken (instead of all mixed together) they inhale it! So let's give this one a whirl!

The recipe says it serves four and has a calorie content of 299! Enjoy!
