CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES STIR FRY RECIPES

Steps:

• In a saucepan boil rice and water over high heat. Now on medium-low heat cover and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes until rice is tender, and water has been absorbed by the rice.
• In a small bowl combine brown sugar, cornstarch and soy sauce.
• Mix red pepper, ginger, and garlic into the sauce and marinade your chicken and refrigerate for 20 minutes or up to 1 hour.
• In a large skillet heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil over medium-high heat. Cook and stir water chestnuts, broccoli, bell pepper, carrots, and onion for about 5 minutes or until just tender.
• Now remove chicken pieces from the marinade. Over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon sesame oil in skillet. Cook and stir chicken for 2 minutes per side until slightly pink on the inside.
• Now add the warm vegetables and the marinade liquid (from the chicken) to skillet. Cook and stir for 5 to 7 minutes until vegetables are tender and chicken is no longer pink in the middle. Serve over plain warm rice.

Steps:

• In medium bowl, combine chicken, 1 tbsp sherry, 1 tsp cornstarch, 1⁄2 tsp salt, and black pepper. In small bowl, combine broth, soy sauce, and remaining 2 tbsp sherry and 1 tsp cornstarch.
• Heat 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch skillet over high until drop of water evaporates within 1 to 2 seconds of contact. Swirl 1 tbsp oil in wok. Add shallot and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Push shallot and garlic to sides of wok and add chicken, spreading evenly into 1 layer in wok. Cook, undisturbed, for 1 minute so chicken begins to sear. Stir-fry until chicken is no longer pink but not cooked through, about 1 minute.
• Swirl remaining 1 tsp oil in wok. Add green beans and capers and sprinkle with remaining 1⁄4 tsp salt and stir-fry just until combined, about 30 seconds. Swirl in broth mixture and stir-fry until chicken is cooked through and sauce is slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve with lemon wedges.
