KT'S HOMEMADE CHICKEN STIR-FRY 
1 lb. chicken breast, cut into one inch cubes
soy sauce
2 tablespoons balsamic vinaigrette dressing
1 tablespoons yellow mustard
1/2 cup brown sugar
6 or 7 large carrots peeled, sliced in half, cut into angled pieces about 1 1/2 inches long
1 large green pepper, cut into lengthwise pieces and into smaller angled pieces
10 or so button mushrooms halved
1 large onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning, or to taste
salt and pepper, to taste

In a small bowl, combine chicken cubes and cover with enough soy sauce to completely cover chicken. Add mustard, brown sugar, and balsamic vinaigrette. Let marinate for 10 minutes.

Heat oil in a large wok on medium-high heat and add onions cooking until golden brown. Add garlic to onions once onions get soft, before they are golden brown. Add carrots, salt and pepper, and Cajun seasoning.

Let carrots cook for about 20 minutes. Add peppers.

Keep cooking at medium or medium-high heat, whichever keeps it simmering.

In a separate heated skillet on medium high heat, pour chicken along with marinade into skillet and let cook until chicken is cooked all the way through. Add mushrooms to the original wok and let cook for 3-4 minutes.

Add cooked chicken to wok and let simmer together for 5-10 minutes.

Serve over rice or alone.

Wow! The marinade is really good! Made some slight mods to the veggie selection; peapods and asparagus instead of onion and green pepper.

WOW! This was delicious! I didn't have soy sauce so I doubled the balsamic vinaigrette and mustard mixed with the brown sugar & let it marinate. Then on my own serving I added red pepper flakes. It was GREAT. Sweet & Hot together! Will be making this again!

This was my first time making stir fry and it was fantastic! My husband said it tasted very authentic. I did change up the veggies, I think you can pretty much do whichever you want. I put probably 7 different ones in there and it turned out great! This is going in the repeat stack! :)
