This Easier Than Stir-Fry Chicken is from Linda Eckhardt’s “Feed Your Family on $10 a Day” cookbook, which is out of print at this point but pick it up used if you can find a copy. She said the recipe started as a plum stir-fry chicken but sometimes she didn’t have plum jam. And she hates stir-frying because it’s messy. She kept eliminating things to get this simple recipe. I like making a good stir-fry, too, but sometimes you just need something simple!
