Grandma's Secret Trick

Grandma's Secret Trick

Grandma and Grandpa enjoyed Chinese food, so sometimes Grandma switched a few of the ingredients in this dish to give it an Asian flavor. She left out the dill and parsley and seasoned the chicken tenders with salt, pepper, garlic powder and ground ginger. She also replaced the apple juice with 1/4 cup soy sauce and 3/4 cup water. And if she had some cashews on hand, she chopped them to sprinkle over the top of the finished stir fry.
