Cantonese Chicken & Vegetable Stir-Fry
Serve with Brown Rice is desired.

Serves 4

• 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
• 2 medium carrots, sliced
• 1/3 cup water
• 12 ounces bok choy or baby bok choy, sliced into 1 1/2-inch strips, stems separated from leaves
• 1 1/2 cups snow or sugar snap peas
• 1 - 8 ounce can sliced water chestnuts

Cantonese Sauce:
• 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth or water
• 1 tablespoon dry white wine
• 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons minced scallions (white parts only)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger

Mix together sauce ingredients and set aside.

Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat.

Add 1 tablespoons of the oil and heat for 30 seconds. Add the chicken and stir-fry until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Wipe out the pan.

Reduce heat to medium-high, add the remaining oil, and heat for 30 seconds.

Add the carrots and water. Cover partially and cook, stirring occasionally, until almost tender, about 2 minutes. Add the bok choy stems, cover, and cook for 2 minutes. Add the bok choy leaves and peas and toss gently. Add the Cantonese Sauce and increase heat to high.

When it starts to bubble, add the chicken and waterchestnuts. Stir-fry until warmed through, about 1 minute.
