AWESOME CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM STIR - FRY



Awesome Chicken and Mushroom Stir - Fry image

This is a recipe I found in The American Heart Association Cook book back when my DH was diagnosed with high blood pressure and also diabetes....it is so good I adapted it with every kind of meat. Excellent with beef or pork too. I change the broth accordingly...beef for beef and vegetable for pork. I am making this for Sunday...

Provided by Doreen Fish

Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 lb chicken breast halves, skinless and boneless
1 Tbsp grated peeled fresh ginger
1 Tbsp hot-pepper oil...i make my own
3 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp toasted sesame oil
2 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp chicken broth, non-fat, low sodium
2 Tbsp dry sherry
1 Tbsp low salt soy sauce
1 Tbsp plain rice vinegar
1 tsp corn starch
8 oz button mushrooms , sliced
1 medium red bell pepper, diced
1 medium zucchini, diced
1/2 medium onion sliced....i use 2 full onions as we love them
8 cherry tomatoes.

Steps:

  • 1. First off let me say I changed this recipe up to my liking....for starters I don't like cooked mushrooms so they were out, I didn't used zucchini either , I used broccoli and cauliflower. The taste is still the same as it is the marinade and cooking liquid that gives this stir fry its star quality. I always double or tripe these ingredients as we like to have extra sauce to drizzle over our steamed rice. I cut up all my veggies first and have it all ready. Cut up chicken, beef or pork and put in a large bowl.Mix together gingerroot, hot-pepper oil,, garlic and sesame oil (I double or triple this). Pour over meat and stir together well. Let marinate in fridge for at least 15 mins but longer if you can. I do it in the afternoon so it has a couple of hours for the flavors to really get in the meat. IN meantime mix together brown sugar, broth, soy sauce,vinegar, and cornstarch until sugar and cornstarch dissolve. (Again double or triple this if you like)Set aside. Heat a large frypan or wok over high heat. Throw in the meat with marinade and cook for 3 - 4 mins until lightly browned, stirring constantly. Stir in all the chopped veggies. Reduce heat to medioum-high and cook covered for about 5 mins or until veggies are cooked the way you like...we like crunchy....stirring occasionally. Stir in the chicken broth mixture and cherry tomatoes. Cook 3 - 4 mins or until sauce has thickened, stirring occasionally. Serve over steamed rice!!So yummy!!

BROCCOLI STIR-FRY WITH CHICKEN AND MUSHROOMS



Broccoli Stir-Fry With Chicken and Mushrooms image

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, weekday, one pot, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons good-quality vegetable oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
4 scallions, chopped
1 pound broccoli, trimmed and cut into bite-size pieces, the stems no more than 1/4-inch thick
8 ounces button mushrooms, cleaned, trimmed and sliced
Salt
1 cup water
8 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1/2- to 3/4-inch chunks or thin slices and blotted dry
2 tablespoons soy sauce
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Put a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. When it's hot, add half the oil, swirl it around, and immediately add half the garlic and ginger. Cook for 15 seconds, stirring, then add the broccoli, mushrooms and all but a sprinkling of the scallions. Raise heat to high, and cook, stirring, until mushrooms release their water and broccoli is bright green and beginning to brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with salt; add 1 cup water. Stir and cook until almost all liquid evaporates and broccoli is almost tender, another minute or two more, then transfer everything to a plate.
  • Turn heat to medium, add remaining oil, then remaining garlic and ginger. Stir, then add chicken and turn heat to high. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken has lost its pink color, three to five minutes.
  • Turn heat to medium. Return broccoli, mushrooms and juices to the pan, and stir. Add soy sauce, sprinkle with more salt and some pepper; add a little more water if mixture is dry. Raise heat to high and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced slightly and you've scraped up all the bits of chicken. Taste and adjust seasoning, garnish with remaining scallion and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your stir-fry taste its best. Look for plump, tender chicken breasts, meaty mushrooms, and crisp vegetables.
  • Cut your ingredients evenly. This will help them cook evenly and prevent some pieces from becoming overcooked while others are still raw.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too much food to the pan at once, it will steam instead of stir-frying. Work in batches if necessary.
  • Use a hot pan. This will help to sear the chicken and vegetables and prevent them from sticking. Preheat your pan over high heat before adding the oil.
  • Stir-fry in small batches. This will help to prevent the food from becoming crowded in the pan and steaming. Cook the chicken in one batch, then remove it from the pan and set it aside. Add the vegetables and cook them in another batch. Finally, return the chicken to the pan and stir-fry everything together until heated through.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is best when it is cooked through but still tender. Overcooking will make it tough and dry.
  • Season to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a splash of soy sauce, oyster sauce, or other Asian-inspired調味料.
  • Serve immediately. Stir-fry is best enjoyed immediately after it is cooked. The vegetables will be crisp and the chicken will be tender and juicy.

Conclusion:

Chicken and mushroom stir-fry is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give chicken and mushroom stir-fry a try.
