Lemon Chicken Stir-fry

We love this chicken stir fry and the sauce has a surprising ingredient. Pair it up with cooked rice or noodles and you have yourself a quick and wonderful meal.
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 3 boneless chicken breasts, cut in strips
  • 2 cups sugar snap peas, trimmed
  • 1 cup of red peppers, cut in strips

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons Asian Sesame Dressing
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 mango, peeled and chopped
  1. Heat oil in a large pan on medium high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook until thoroughly cooked, stirring occasionally.
  2. Add sugar snap peas and peppers, stir and cook for 2 minutes or until preferred tenderness.
  3. Whisk together jelly powder, cornstarch, water, dressing, garlic and salt until jelly powder is dissolved.
  4. Add to pan with the chicken, peas, and peppers and cook till sauce thickens. Stir in mango chunks. 
  5. Serve hot on cooked rice or noodles. 
  6. Yield: 4 to 5 servings

    I make this almost exactly the same way but i use Italian dressing instead of the sesame orange and Oriental mix stir fry veggies in stead of snap peas and peppers-the Oriental mix has all of these plus a few more.For diet reasons i use the sugar free jell-o- I have also done this using beef but i use orange jell-o for that one. They are both good.
