Servings

Ingredients 

1 cup broccoli florets
2 carrots, cut into thin diagonal slices
1 small onion, cut into 1/4-inch thick wedges
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 to 3 (1 pound) Gold'n Plump® Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, cut into 2-inch by 1/2-inch strips
CURRY SAUCE
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 tablespoons curry powder, or to taste
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, finely minced
2 teaspoons minced jalapeno pepper or 1/4 teaspoon red pepper, or to taste
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Crushed red pepper flakes, if desired
TO COMPLETE RECIPE:
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
2 plum tomatoes, each cut into 8 wedges
4 sprigs of fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions 

Steam broccoli, carrots, and onion in a covered pot for 6 to 8 minutes, or until tender. (If using a microwave, put vegetables in medium microwave-proof dish; add about 1/4 cup water. Microwave on high for about 5 minutes.) Drain well; cover to keep warm.

Meanwhile, heat oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes or until it is lightly browned and thoroughly cooked.

While vegetables and chicken are cooking, prepare sauce: Heat oil in large saute pan over medium heat. Add curry powder, ginger, jalapeno pepper (if using), and garlic; stir for 1 minute. Add water and bring mixture to a boil; cook, uncovered, about 3 minutes or until sauce is reduced slightly. Remove from heat; stir in lime juice and red pepper flakes (if using).

Stir broccoli, carrots, onion, and chicken strips into sauce. Add peas and tomatoes; toss gently until warmed through. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Garnish each serving with a cilantro sprig.

Variations 

1 teaspoon of jarred minced garlic may be substituted for minced fresh garlic.
