This was SO GOOD! We had this for Father's Day & we enjoyed it so much that we made it again for my birthday a couple weeks later :)
Stir Fry
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (thawed & cut into bite-sized pieces)
garlic, to taste (I used 1 1/2 tsp. minced garlic)
6 carrots, peeled & cut into bite-sized pieces
6 stalks of celery, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 C. broccoli, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 C. cauliflower, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 onion, cut
1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
1 green bell pepper, cut into strips
pea pods, cut in half (I used about 1/4 to 1/2 lb. and I also cut of the little stem ends, but you don't have to)
1 small cabbage, cut into bite-sized pieces
juice of 1/2 of a lemon (I used the bottled lemon juice)
3 Tbsp. water
3 Tbsp. cornstarch (mix together with water in a small bowl)
soy sauce, to taste (I used about 7 Tbsp.)
garlic powder, to taste (I just sprinkled some in)
Cook chicken with garlic & a little bit of oil in a large pan or Wok if you have one (I just got this one for my birthday at Walmart for $30 & it worked great!). Remove chicken & set aside. Cook carrots & celery on medium heat for a few minutes, stirring every so often throughout the whole process of cooking the stir fry. Then add in broccoli & cauliflower & cook for a few minutes. Add in onion & bell peppers & cook for a few minutes. Then add in pea pods & cabbage & cook for a few minutes. Add in chicken. Then add in lemon juice & cornstarch/water mixture. Add in soy sauce & garlic powder. Serve over rice or noodles (we like ours with brown rice).
*All of the measurements for the vegetables are approximates--you can do as much as you want or different kinds of vegetables too!
*The cooking time is also just an estimate--cook it for a shorter amount of time if you like your vegetables a little crunchy or cook it for longer if you like them soft.
