Lemon Chicken Stir-fry wth Pasta

This is a delicious quick week night meal,
that requires no Oven baking for those warm days ahead.
I loved how this stir-fry is served on top of Angel Hair Pasta instead of the typical rice. If you do not have the pasta you can still serve this on top of rice for great results.
The lemon sauce is very refreshing and light without being over powerful, a perfect complement to the chicken and vegies.
This meal was a hit at our house and will be made many times this summer.
