Three-Alarm Firecracker Chicken compliments of Viking River & Ocean Cruises & Cruises-N-More

Share and Enjoy!

With fresh jalapeño, dried chilies and chili garlic sauce, this dish is definitely hot and spicy! If you prefer, de-seed the jalapeño and dried chili to cut the heat some. This dish really provides a kick to the classic protein of chicken breast, and the stir-fry cooking method means it comes together in a snap.
