Lemon Chicken Stir Fry Recipe

Lemon Chicken Stir Fry

1 Tbsp. olive oil

1 Tbsp. sesame oil

1 ½ lbs. skinless, boneless chicken breast cut into strips

2 tsp. fresh minced ginger

½ cup sliced red and green peppers

1 cup sliced carrots, celery, onions

1 lemon juice (approx. ¼ cup)

2 Tbsp. Ponzu soy sauce

2 Tbsp. light brown sugar

¼ cup water

1 Tbsp. cornstarch

3 cups cooked rice

½ head of cauliflower

½ cup sliced scallions

Prepare rice according to directions on package.  If you want to reduce the carbs in the rice, cut the rice amount in half.  Once it is cooked, take ½ a head of cauliflower and place in food processor.  Pulse until it is in small granular pieces.  Mix with your hot rice and let it steam.  Do not cook the cauliflower.

While your rice is cooking heat the oil in your wok or skillet and add the chicken and stir fry for 5-6 minutes.  Remove from the pan and set aside.

Heat the sesame oil in the wok or skillet and add your prepared vegetables (except the scallions) and the ginger.  Stir fry for about 6 minutes until tender crisp.

While vegetables are cooking, mix the lemon juice, water, Ponzu, brown sugar and cornstarch in a small bowl.  Set aside.

Add chicken back to the pan and mix with vegetables.  Whisk your lemon juice mixture again and add to your wok or skillet.  Stir fry until sauce begins to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.  Continue to stir to coat well with sauce.

Serve over hot rice (and cauliflower if you do the low carb option) and garnish with scallions.

I started making these enchiladas last year during lent.  The meatless recipe lets my family observe the season and still eat Mexican food.  When I took them to school, my co-workers couldn’t get enough.
