STIR - FRIED CHICKEN WITH
ZUCCHINI & SWEET PEPPER
 
3 (4 1/2 oz.) skinless boneless chicken breast halves
1 med. zucchini
1 med. red bell pepper
2 scallions
1 tsp. cornstarch
1/4 c. chicken broth or water
1 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tbsp. dry sherry
1 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 tsp. grated fresh ginger
1/2 tsp. salt

1. Cut chicken crosswise on a diagonal into very thin slices. Cut zucchini crosswise into thin slices. Cut red pepper into thin 1 1/2 inch strips. Slice scallions.

2. In a small bowl, dissolve cornstarch in cold chicken broth. Stir in soy sauce and sherry. Set sauce aside.

3. Heat a wok or large non-stick skillet until hot. Add oil and heat until almost smoking. Add chicken and stir-fry, separating slices, 2 minutes. Add zucchini, red pepper, scallions, ginger and salt. Cook over high heat, tossing constantly, until chicken is white throughout and vegetables are crisp-tender, 2-3 minutes.

4. Stir reserved sauce and add to pan. Cool, stirring until sauce thickens and coats chicken and vegetables, 1-2 minutes. Serve it once.
