From the Test Kitchen

Tonight’s chicken stir-fry is light, bright and altogether delicious, thanks to a few simple ingredients. Seasonal green beans and tinkerbell peppers—or sweet, crisp bell peppers in miniature—perfectly accent the sweetness of our sauce. With a side of fragrant, coconut-infused rice, this dish is an easy, quick-cooking variation on a Thai takeout classic.
