CHICKEN AND SCALLOP STIR FRY
Originally this recipe came from Recipezaar's "Stir Fry Scallops" But I didn't have a lot of the ingredients so it ended up being very different! I loved the outcome and thought it would be best just to post a separate variation to that recipe. We ate it with rice but my family had suggested they would have liked it with rice noodles also. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did :)
