I'm a vegetarian, so I used tofu instead of chicken. It was still delicious!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also added some shrimp and it turned out great!

I was disappointed with this recipe. The chicken was dry and the vegetables were mushy. I won't be making this again.

This stir-fry was a little too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less soy sauce next time.

I'm not usually a fan of stir-fries, but this one was surprisingly good. The chicken was juicy and the vegetables were crisp. I'll definitely be making this again.

This stir-fry was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. I especially loved the addition of the feta cheese and olives, which gave the dish a nice Mediterranean flair.
