Chinese Chicken Stir-Fry with Quinoa

I love to try different cuisines. When you're craving chinese food this chicken stir-fry really hits the spot! Chinese food is filled with fat and sodium and after eating it you wish you hadn't. This stir-fry is light and flavorful without all the fat and sodium. This is simple & quick and freezes well for homemade TV dinners. I like to serve it over quinoa but you can also serve it over brown rice. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
