NOTES : "Given to me, originally, by Frank Berry. By modifying, I have
improved this dish." (That folks is engineer's way of ribbing his friend and
co-worker, Frank.)
By the way, it is terrific!!!!! It is a pretty standard recipe, more like
a stir fry than the typical G.T's Chicken that you get in restaurants (we
love that too!! ) This is less fattening. Feel free to edit it, change it,
eat it, and pass it around. Frank and Jerry will get a kick out of that!
