This stir-fry is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have a bunch of leftover chicken in my fridge, and this is a great way to use it up before it goes bad.

I'm not a big fan of Mexican food, but this stir-fry was surprisingly good. The vegetables were crisp and flavorful, and the sauce was just the right amount of spicy. I'll definitely be making this again.
