Ingredients
- 8 large sliced White Button Mushrooms (2 to 3 oz.)
- 1-cup hot water
- 1 Tablespoon Canola oil
- 2 teaspoons crushed fresh ginger
- 2 teaspoons crushed garlic
- 1 pound skinned and deboned chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch cubes
- 2 large green onions, including tops, finely chopped
- 8 oz. Broccoli, cut into 1-½ inch lengths
- 1 Tablespoon low sodium soya sauce
- 2 Tablespoons dry sherry, port, rice wine or water
- 2 teaspoons corn starch mixed with 1 Tablespoon water
- 1/2 cup of Low Sodium Chicken Stock
METHOD
- In a 12-inch nonstick frying pan, heat 2 teaspoons of the Canola oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the ginger and garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the chicken cubes and mushrooms and stir-fry for 2 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink. If the mixture starts to catch, add 1 Tablespoon of chicken stock and put a lid on the pan for approximately 1 1/2 minutes, then remove the lid, and finish stir-frying the mixture in moisture from mushrooms and stock. Transfer the contents of the pan to a plate.
- Heat the remaining teaspoon of Canola oil in the frying pan. Add the green onions and stir-fry for about 30 seconds, then add the broccoli and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes more. Return the chicken and mushrooms to the frying pan, and then add the 1/2-cup of low sodium chicken stock, the low sodium Soya sauce and Sherry. Bring to the boil and cook, covered, for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Stir the corn starch and water together, then add it to the frying pan and cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes or until the sauce is slightly thickened. Serve warm, with brown or wild rice and a side salad
