Recipe Story

Stir fry is one of our favorites but we don't like all the sodium that usually comes along with it. In this recipe we took care of that problem and let me tell you, it was delish!

Ingredients

 1 cup of white jasmine rice
 7 oz chicken breast, about 1 chicken breast
 Salt1 Teaspoon
 Pepper1 Teaspoon
 Olive oil2 Tablespoon
 1 green pepper, seeded and chopped
 1 red pepper, seeded and chopped
 Zucchini1 , chopped
 3 scallions, chopped (and more for garnish)
 2 tbls soy sauce, reduced sodium
 Sesame seed oil1 Teaspoon
 2 tbls hoisin sauce
 Corn starch1 Teaspoon
 Â¼ - ½ cup chicken stock, reduced sodium
 Â¼ - ½ cup cocktail peanuts

Directions

Cook the rice according to package directions.

Cut up chicken breast into bite size pieces and season with salt and pepper. Heat up skillet to a high heat and add in the olive oil and chicken. Brown chicken for 10 minutes or until no longer pink. Chop up the vegetables and add them to the skillet with the chicken and turn to a medium heat. Allow for the vegetables to become tender which will take about 8 minutes or so.

In a bowl combine soy sauce, sesame seed oil, hoisin sauce, corn starch and chicken stock and mix well. Add in the sauce to the chicken and vegetable mixture and stir to combine. Allow for the flavors to combine for another 5 - 10 minutes.

Right before serving add in some cocktail peanuts for an extra crunch. Serve with rice and garnish with scallions. Enjoy!
