This has become one of my most favorite meals, and it is quick and easy to prepare.
Note, the directions are for one serving, so just increase as needed for more servings. All ingredient amounts are approximate.
The picture shows a couple of sauces I have used.
And sorry - I forgot to put the cashews in the picture!
1. Assemble ingredients:
Frozen stir fry vegetables
Onions - green or yellow cut up
Chicken (canned, fresh or frozen - if frozen, thaw)
Oriental sauce
Cashews
2. Heat skillet to medium high
3. Add cooking oil to generously cover bottom of pan
(I like to use olive oil)
4. For each serving, add:
2-3 handfuls of frozen stir fry vegetables
1/4-1/2 cup chopped onion
5. Stir while cooking for about 5 minutes
6. Add: 1/2 can chicken, drained, OR equivilant of
1 chicken tender, cut up and thoroughly cooked*
7. Cook about one minute while continuing to stir.
8. Add:
1/4 cup cashews
Your favorite oriental sauce - enough to lightly
cover ingredients, and continue to stir for about
one minute.
Serve as is or over ric
*NOTE: if using fresh chicken, cut into pieces and cook in skillet first, then set aside. Make sure chicken is thoroughly cooked. Add chicken at the end with the cashews and sauce.
OPTION: Instead of chicken, use cut up meatballs. I used frozen fully cooked meatballs, and microwaved them enough to thaw a little, so I could cut them into pieces. Add as step #6. This is especially good with Panda Express Mandarin Sauce. Very tasty!
This blog contains my favorite recipes, many which are reduced fat and reduced sugar. Sometimes I like foods that are nutritious, yet delicious, but sometimes I like delicious and not so nutritious. I have been the co-owner of a fried chicken franchise in Michigan, and a family style restaurant in Montana. My mother was a professional cook in her early years, and I have gained a love of cooking and baking from her. Recipes received from other sources are duly noted; otherwise they are my own.
