String Bean Chicken Skillet image

I started to prepare a chicken stir-fry one day and discovered I was out of frozen snow peas. So I tossed in green beans instead with a few leftover wax beans for color. I've been making the recipe this way ever since.-Priscilla Gilbert, Indian Harbour Beach, Florida
