Honey Garlic Chicken Stir Fry

Quick stir frys are the best kind of dinners to use up some fresh veggies!

I was so excited to try this stir fry because I am used to stir frys being broccoli, carrots, and bell peppers. I rarely see squash in them and that made me such a happy camper. I love squash. I will happily eat all the squash and all the recipes with squash. This recipe is especially wonderful because the honey garlic sauce is mouthwateringly good! It's the perfect balance of salty and sweet and savory to compliment the veggies and chicken. The best thing, of course, about stir frys is that they are quick. This one can be made in under 30 minutes!
