Green Chicken Stir-Fry

A stir-fry is wonderful, making a meal in a pan and cooking it, in a liquid.  I am presently cooking another one with leftover chicken from the Sabbath and carrots and bell peppers, sweet and sour style.


Green Chicken Stir-Fry

Ingredients:
Marinade and Chicken:
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 3/4 pound boneless, skinless chicken , sliced into 1/2-inch thick strips ( I used a pound for two of us.)
Stir-Fry:
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 medium onions , diced
  • 1 cup frozen broccoli
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • Soy sauce , if needed
  • 1 Tbsp. chopped scallions
Method:
In a Pyrex dish or bowl, combine the soy sauce and seasoning.  Grate ginger into the bowl.
Place the chicken into the dish, cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight to marinate.
Heat the oil in a wok or large sauté pan over high heat. Add the chicken, marinade and onion, and sauté quickly until chicken is cooked through.  (1 tablespoon of oil worked for me)

Add in broccoli and turn heat to medium-high. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Toss in  peas and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Toss in the scallions and serve.  I apologize for the photo but it is the only one, I have.  This is an old recipe that I had not posted here.

    We had sweet and sour chicken last week! I have to admit I've never thought of putting peas in my stir fry before.

    This sounds delicious! I love stir-fry dishes, especially good when eaten while still hot! Your Green Chicken Stir Fry would be perfect with some steamed white fluffy rice! Yum!

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi...

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I ...
