Crunchy Chicken Stir Fry

Comfort food is the best because it reminds us of traditions, childhood or time that we gathered with family or friends. Crispy chicken nuggets are one of those comfort foods that we might have enjoyed long ago before we learned about grilled or foil wrapped chicken was a thing.
