Quick Chinese Chicken Dinner
Needed something fairly quick and easy. This was a "throw-together" from what we already had on hand.
9 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 Tbsp low sodium teriyaki sauce
2 cups healthy rice- I used a brown rice blend which also had wild rice and other whole grains.
1/2 packet Knorr's Spring Vegetable soup mix or vegetable soup mix
2 cups baby carrots, halved on the diagonal
1 stalk of broccoli, stalk sliced thin and top separated into florettes.
1 can baby corn
1 can water chestnuts
1 can sliced mushrooms (other good options- sliced green onions, cubed red pepper, peapods, etc)
2 tbsp almonds, toasted in microwave for 30 swec and then roughly chopped
*******************
1 cup hot water with 1 tbsp sodium free chicken bouillon
2 tsp sesame oil
3 tbsp low sodium teriyaki sauce
3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup bottled General Tso's sauce (yes, this has some sugar in it, but I was in a hurry. You can make your own if you've got a good recipe)
1 Tbsp cornstarch
place rice in microwave safe dish and add twice as much water.
Cover with plastic and microwave for 10 min.
If water is completely absorbed, andd more, and keep microwaving til done. Stir in a bit more water and Knorr's, cover, and let stand.
Pan grill chicken in large skillet sprayed with pam til nearly cooked thru. Deglaze wtih teriyaki. REmove.
Spray pan with Pam again and add carrots, stir frying for 1 min.
Add broccoli stalk slices and stir fry for 1 min.
Add broccoli flowerettes and stir fry for 1 min.
Add canned veggies (drained) and stir fry for 1 min.
Dice chicken into one inch pieces and add back to skillet.
Stir fry one more minute.
Add liquid mixture (water through corn starch)to to stir fry and heat on high til liquid is bubbling and thick.
Place rice on platter, top with stir fry, and sprinkle on chopped nuts.
Delicious!
