Speedy Chicken Stir-Fry

from the kitchen of Jenn Graves


This is my family's favorite meal. Becca loves it! We put it on our menu every month.

Prep Time:10 min
Total Time:25 min
Makes:4 servings, 2 cups each

8 oz. angel hair pasta, uncooked
2 cups small broccoli florets
1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
1/2 cup Asian Toasted Sesame Dressing
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1/4 tsp. each: ground ginger, garlic powder, crushed red pepper
1/3 cup chopped Dry Roasted Peanuts

Cook pasta as directed on package, adding broccoli to the boiling water for the last 3 min. of the pasta cooking time.

Meanwhile, spray large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat on medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 6 to 8 min. or until cooked through, stirring occasionally. Stir in dressing, soy sauce, ginger, garlic and crushed red pepper; cook 1 min., stirring occasionally.

Drain pasta mixture; place in large bowl. Add chicken mixture; mix lightly; sprinkle with the peanuts.

Substitute whatever vegetables you have on hand, such as snow peas, sliced bell peppers, sliced carrots or chopped red onions, for the broccoli. Our favorite is green beans. Cabbage is good too.

Santa Fe Grilled Chicken Salad Wrap

from the kitchen of Jenn Graves

We tried this recipe out the other night. It was fast, easy, a hit, and pretty healthy too; especially if you use whole wheat tortillas and low fat dressing.

4 C torn romaine lettuce
1 pkg. (6 oz.) Southwestern Seasoned or Grilled Chicken Breast Strips
1 large tomato, chopped
1 can (11 oz.) whole kernel corn, drained
1/2 C Mexican Style Shredded Cheese
1/4 C Ranch Dressing
1/4 C Salsa
8 Flour Tortillas

Toss romaine, chicken breast strips, tomatoes and corn in a large bowl; sprinkle with cheese.
Combine dressing and salsa. Pour over romaine mixture; toss to coat. Spoon evenly onto tortillas; roll up.

Makes 4 servings, 2 wraps each.
