Lemony Chicken Stir Fry

This easy dinner cooks in one pan. The lemony-garlic chicken is a natural low fat meal. Her we present it on wide noodles, but it could just as well be served on white rice.



Elegant hot weather meal that's easy to fix and easy on the waist and easy on the budget. Customize it as you like by using asparagus instead of green beans, or broccoli. You might even try shrimp to take the place of chicken.



Ingredients:
1 bunch green beans, cut into 2 inch pieces
2 tablespoon oil
6 cloves garlic, minced
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
Kosher salt, to taste
1 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 Tbs cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Lemon zest
Salt & pepper

Directions:
Do your cutting. Zest the lemon and squeeze the juice into a small bowl, slice what is left.



Chop the garlic and snap the green beans.


Cube the chicken all before you start.




Cook green beans and oil in a skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes. When 1 minute remains, add garlic. Set aside.

Season chicken with salt & pepper. Increase heat to high and cook chicken until browned. Set chicken aside.


Add soy sauce and chicken broth to skillet. Bring to boil for about 1 minute.





In a small bowl mix together the lemon juice, water and cornstarch, stir until well mixed before adding to pan of hot liquid.
Sauce has to be brought to a bubbling simmer to thicken.

Return chicken and beans to pan. Coat with sauce. Top with lemon zest.
Let regain heat, then serve over rice.

If you wish a Tbs of brown sugar will sweeten the sauce, You can also add some ground ginger, and maybe some cashews!
This will be delicious with shrimp




Try with broccoli alone and love it as a side dish.
Try with asparagus or broccoli & carrots. Create a stir fry to your tastes.
