Stir fry the chicken using 2T vegetable oil, until chicken is light brown, remove chicken from pan. Add the vegetables and stir fry them for about 5 min. (make sure your stove is on high and your pan is very hot). Add the chicken back to the pan and add the sauce, stir this constantly until the mixture boils & thickens. Serve over rice or ramen noodles.

Party Sandwiches
From: Jill...
1 pkg. cream cheese
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese
3/4 cup green onions sliced
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 T Worcestershire sauce
1/2-3/4 cup of ham and roast beef
pre-sliced long dill pickles
1 loaf of Italian or french bread
Mix the first 5 ingredients together, cut the french bread lengthwise and then remove the inners of the french bread to create a canoe. Spread 1/2 of the cheese mixture on the top and 1/2 on the bottom, then place the pickles down on the bottom, add meat and place the top of the french bread to create your sandwich. Wrap tightly with saran wrap. Store in the fridge for at least 1-2 hours before serving. I like to slice mine to make finger sandwiches and then stick party toothpicks in them.
