Zesty citrus chicken stir fry with lemon, ginger, and orange flavors.
Ingredients:
  • 1 (16 ounce) package dry whole-wheat noodles
  • 0.5 cup chicken stock
  • 0.5 cup orange marmalade
  • 0.33333334326744 cup tamari sauce
  • 1 (1 inch) piece ginger root, peeled
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 3 tablespoons peanut oil
  • 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into thin strips
  • 1 (16 ounce) bag frozen stir-fry vegetables, thawed
Instructions:
  • Fill a large pot with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a vigorous boil.
  • Add whole-wheat noodles to the pot and bring it back to a boil. Let it cook without a lid, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked but still slightly firm, about 5 to 8 minutes. Drain the noodles well and set them aside.
  • In a pot over medium-high heat, simmer a flavorful blend of chicken stock, tangy orange marmalade, savory tamari sauce, fresh ginger root, and ground black pepper.
  • Bring the sauce to a lively boil, then lower the heat to medium. Allow the sauce to simmer until it thickens and reduces, which should take around 20 minutes.
  • Take the sauce off the heat, blend in the lemon juice, and leave it to rest.
  • In a large skillet, heat the peanut oil over medium-high heat.
  • Sauté chicken in hot oil until beautifully golden, fully cooked, and juices are clear, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Set the cooked chicken aside while keeping the flavorful oil in the skillet.
  • Stir-fry the vegetables in the chicken skillet until almost tender, about 4 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Discard the piece of ginger root from the sauce.
  • Combine the seasoned chicken and flavorful sauce with the vibrant vegetables and stir until everything is heated through, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Top the whole-wheat noodles with the prepared dish.
