Served on a bed of spaghetti squash, this easy stir-fry offers a restaurant-quality dinner at a fraction of the cost. Ingredients:
1/2 medium spaghetti squash |
sauce: |
1/2 cup chicken broth |
4-1/2 teaspoons soy sauce |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1 tablespoon cornstarch |
1 tablespoon cider vinegar |
dash crushed red pepper flakes |
stir-fry: |
2 tablespoons beaten egg |
1-1/2 teaspoons soy sauce |
1/4 cup cornstarch |
1/2 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes |
2 tablespoons canola oil |
1 cup fresh broccoli florets |
1/4 cup chopped onion |
Directions:
1. Place squash cut side down in a microwave-safe dish. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 10-12 minutes or until tender.
2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the broth, soy sauce, sugar, cornstarch, vinegar and pepper flakes until smooth; set aside.
3. In a shallow bowl, whisk egg and soy sauce. Place cornstarch in another shallow bowl. Dip chicken in egg mixture, then coat with cornstarch. In a large skillet or wok, stir-fry chicken in oil in batches until no longer pink. Remove and keep warm.
4. Stir-fry broccoli and onion for 2-3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Stir cornstarch mixture and add to the pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Add chicken; heat through.
5. When squash is cool enough to handle, use a fork to separate strands. Serve with stir-fry. Yield: 2 servings.
