Spicy-Tangy Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry image

Chicken, broccoli, and cashews stir-fried in a citrus and red pepper sauce, served over rice. I wanted to make a tasty stir fry with ingredients I had on hand and this is what I came up with. I also didn't have time to marinate. I have the chicken and broccoli cut and ready to go before I start the rice. Once the rice has been on simmer for about 5 of its 20 minutes, I start frying the broccoli/ cashews and the chicken. This results in all ingredients being ready at the same time.

Time 30m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 lb chicken breast, cut into strips
1/4 cup flour
2 cups broccoli florets
1/4 cup cashews
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1/2 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon gingerroot, minced
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
1 cup cooked rice

Steps:

  • Rinse and pat dry the chicken and place in a tupperware with lid or a plastic baggie.
  • Toss chicken with the flour to lightly coat it.
  • Combine lime juice, vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, red pepper flakes, and corn starch in a small bowl.
  • Heat 2 frying pans, each with half the oil, at medium heat.
  • Place broccoli and cashews in one pan.
  • In the other pan, place chicken strips. Fry chicken until lightly browned, turning once. About 3 minutes per side.
  • Add broccoli and cashews to the pan with the chicken. Pour sauce in pan and stir to coat.
  • Reduce heat slightly and let cook for 5 to 7 minutes (the longer it's going to sit, the lower the heat should be).
