Chicken Veggie Stir Fry from the Daniel Plan Cookbook

Ingredients:

• ½ pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch strips
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
• 1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
• 3 tablespoons wheat-free tamari or soy sauce
• ½ cup low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth, plus a few tablespoons extra
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 2 cups small broccoli florets
• 1 cup corn
• ½ cup sliced water chestnuts, sliced
• ½ cup shredded carrots
• ½ cup bean sprouts
• ½ cup mushrooms, quartered
• 3 scallions, sliced diagonally
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
• 2 cups cooked brown rice

   

Directions:

1. In a medium bowl, mix the chicken strips, garlic, ginger, jalapeno, and 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce. Set aside.

2. In a small container, combine the remaining soy sauce, chicken broth, corn starch, and sesame oil. Place lid on container, and shake well. Set aside.

3. In a large sauté pan or wok, heat the coconut oil over high heat. Stir-fry chicken until tender and almost done, about 4−5 minutes.

4. Reduce heat to medium, add the vegetables and remaining soy sauce. Cook until the sauce thickens and the chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 4 more minutes. If the sauce becomes too thick, thin with a little chicken broth or water. Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds. Serve over brown rice.
