Chicken Broccoli Stir-fry with Garlic and Ginger, (plus Easter links)


Here's a recipe from a friend I've not tried yet.
It looks delicious!


Chicken Broccoli Stir-fry with Garlic and Ginger

In a bowl combine and let marinade until room temp (15-20 minutes)

3 boneless skinless chicken breast, cubed
3 T. red wine, or substitute*
2 T. soy sauce
2 T. sesame oil (Dee comment here: wow, we would do less than 1 t.)
1 ½ c. green onions, chopped
2-3 T. Costco minced garlic (recommended 3 Tbl)
1 ½ t. ginger paste
1 ½ tsp Splenda Sugar Blend, or substitute
1 Tbl Stir-fry Sauce (General Tsao from Trader Joes)
½ a bag or 1 ½ lb. broccoli florets (Costco)
Kosher salt and course ground pepper to taste
Red pepper flakes (optional)

Add 1 T. of corn starch to 1/3 c. cold water and whisk until mixed, add to marinade after it has been at room temp, set aside

In a large frying pan, spray with Pam cooking spray, add broccoli and sauté and add small amount of water to fry/steam until broccoli turn brighter green and is slightly soft/crisp.

In another pan cook marinated chicken, use water to thin as needed. When fully cooked add to cooked broccoli and stir and cook 5 minutes. Add pepper flakes and black pepper while cooking. Serve.


* I found this online for substitutes:

For red wine, try:
  • beef or chicken broth/stock
  • diluted red wine vinegar
  • red grape juice
  • tomato juice
  • canned mushroom liquid

For white wine, try:
  • chicken broth/stock
  • vegetable stock
  • white grape juice
  • ginger ale
  • canned mushroom liquid
  • diluted white wine or cider vinegar
A great list of substitutions for cooking with various alcoholic ingredients may be found here.



Happy General Conference Weekend everyone!
And Happy Easter!
