A tasty, nutty entrée, perfect for poultry lovers. TIME: 40 minutes SERVINGS: 4 Ingredients:
3 cups broccoli florets, with short stems (about 1/2 lb crowns) |
2 carrots, cut into thin diagonal slices (2 c) |
5 ounces soba noodles |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, sliced crosswise (6 oz each) |
1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce |
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil |
3 medium scallions, thinly sliced (about 1/2 c) |
1/2 cup chicken broth, reduced-sodium, fat-free |
1/2 cup cashews, unsalted raw (3 oz) |
Directions:
1. Bring large pot of water to a boil. Add broccoli, carrots, and noodles. Cover and cook until vegetables are crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain, transfer to medium bowl, and cover loosely with wax paper.
2. Heat olive oil, ginger, and garlic in wok or large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring, until garlic starts to turn golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add chicken, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Stir-fry 4 to 5 minutes, or until cooked through. Add scallions and stir-fry 1 minute.
3. Stir in noodles, veggies, and broth and heat through. Sprinkle each portion with 2 tablespoons of the cashews.
