honey walnut chicken

I don't know if you have ever had honey walnut shrimp at a Chinese restaurant, but it is SO good. I felt like Chinese tonight. I am trying to stay on budget, so I couldn't go pick some up! (sad) SO... I made it myself. I didn't have any shrimp in the freezer, hence, the chicken. I found a good recipe, simplified it... My hubby said it was "amazing." I agree.
