Crazy Chicken

"Cubed chicken sauteed with garlic and stir-fry sauce, then broiled to brown, for a simple, Asian-style dish. This is just something that I threw together one night, when I didn't have any bread crumbs for chicken cutlets, and it turned out to be something I make on a regular basis. I usually have egg noodles with this. If you like a lot of garlic, add more."
