CHICKEN AND SUGAR SNAP STIR-FRY
I threw this together one night with the ingredients I had on hand, and was delightfully surprised with the results. I think this is one of my favorite stir-fries yet! You can certainly alter the veggies..I think broccoli would be great in this recipe. Its quick, easy, and healthy, as it contains no extra fats. You can serve with rice, but I enjoyed this just by itself, which makes it suitable for lo-carb diets!

SUGAR SNAP-GINGER STIR-FRY
I was making an Asian dinner and needed a different flavor to complement my other dishes. Using ginger gave this dish just what I wanted and used one of my favorite vegetables, sugar snap peas. You can vary the ginger depending on how strong a flavor you want.

CHICKEN AND SUGAR SNAP PEA SAUTE
Adapted from the Culinary Institute of America. A family favorite that I have tweaked for our tastes. A great light summer supper!! This is also very tasty with shrimp in lieu of the chicken.

Steps:
- In a nonstick skillet, heat 1/3 of oil over high heat.
- Add peas and stir fry until bright green, 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from pan and set aside in bowl.
- Place flour in shallow pan.
- Cut chicken into 1x2 inch strips or bite size pieces (strictly preference here), season with salt and pepper and dredge in flour, shaking off excess.
- Discard leftover flour.
- In same skillet, heat remaining oil over high heat.
- Add chicken and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 4 minutes.
- Transfer chicken to bowl with peas.
- Add chicken broth and garlic to skillet and cook until reduced by half, about 5-7 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium and return chicken and peas to skillet.
- Cook until just heated through.
- Add parsley, juice and zest.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Substitution Suggestions: I use a bag of frozen sugar snaps, or a bag of frozen stir fry veggies.
- Any of your favorite veggies would do.
- This also goes well with rice.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured out. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the cooking process.
- Use Fresh Vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your stir-fry the best flavor and texture. If you can, try to use organic vegetables whenever possible.
- Cook the Chicken in Batches: If you're using a lot of chicken, it's best to cook it in batches so that it doesn't overcrowd the pan and cook evenly.
- Don't Overcook the Vegetables: Vegetables should be cooked until they are tender-crisp, but not mushy. Overcooked vegetables will lose their flavor and nutrients.
- Use a Hot Wok or Pan: A hot wok or pan will help to sear the chicken and vegetables and prevent them from sticking.
- Add the Sauce Last: The sauce should be added to the stir-fry at the very end of the cooking process. This will help to prevent the sauce from burning.
Conclusion:
Chicken and sugar snap stir-fry is a quick, easy, and healthy meal that can be made with a variety of ingredients. By following these tips, you can make a delicious and nutritious stir-fry that your whole family will enjoy.
