We’ve been so busy this week, that I really hadn’t paid that much attention to my ever shrinking veggie supply in the refrigerator. When dinner rolled around yesterday evening I realized my options were limited; I had salad fixings, asparagus, a couple of lemons and a few onions.
How boring.
So, I decided to see how creative I could be.
{This are the moments my children become very afraid.}
My solution was a stir fry of sorts, and it wasn’t bad at all.
Ingredients:
3-4 pounds boneless chicken breast tenders
freshly ground pepper
ground dry mustard
3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
Green Onions, the entire onion, thinly sliced
2 Tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
1 Tablespoon lemon zest
3 cloves garlic
1 pound fresh asparagus, sliced into 1-inch pieces
3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 Tablespoons Bragg’s Liquid Aminos*** ( natural soy sauce alternative & much lower sodium option)
Steamed Jasmine Rice
Let’s Make it!
**Stir Fry the chicken breast tenders in heated olive oil on medium-high heat, seasoning the chicken with the fresh ground pepper & dry mustard. When cooked through, transfer to a plate and drain.
**Reduce the heat to medium, & in your pan, add the green onions and garlic, sautéing until fragrant (about 1 minute). Add the lemon zest and ginger mixing together and cooking about half a minute. Add the broth & soy sauce alternative and bring to a simmer. Scrap the bits and pieces of chicken from the bottom of the pan. Add the asparagus and simmer 1 1/2 minutes so that it is still crisp, but tender.
**Add the chicken back to the pan, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer a minute or so to heat the chicken through.

***You can use soy sauce, but if you choose to use the Bragg’s Liquid aminos, it can be found at Fresh Market & Ingles grocery stores.
Most any store that carries a lot of organics should have this. I found it in the aisle with Asian Foods, but it can also be found in the organic condiment section.

Serve with rice and a salad.
That’s it. Simple and fairly fast; I had supper completely on the table (well we ate in the living room because my kitchen table was covered in glitter from a homecoming banner) in 40 minutes!
And, it was delicious!
Either that or my kids hid their plates …. there wasn’t even a grain of rice left!
Now I am headed to the grocery store so that we can have something fresh to accompany our London Broil for supper tonight!
Have a wonderful weekend!
It’s going to be beautiful!
Linking up with Foodie Friday this week.

Sounds good to me and stir frying is one of my favorite ways to cook.

You know I have some Braggs that I haven't even opened yet! I bought it because I read it was healthier than soy sauce but I guess I don't use soy sauce often 🙂

Hope that I'm catching you before you tell your daughter about “finch.” She'll find it so much more intriguing if she looks it up on her own. I gave this book to my niece one Christmas and she didn't read it for years. Finally, she did and she said that it has now become one of her favorite books. Have you read it? You'd love it, too.
