Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (16 ounce) package dry whole-wheat noodles
½ cup chicken stock
½ cup orange marmalade
⅓ 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

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil.
  • Stir in whole-wheat noodles and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through but is firm to the bite, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
  • Combine chicken stock, orange marmalade, tamari sauce, whole ginger root piece, and ground black pepper in a pot over medium-high heat.
  • Bring sauce to a boil and reduce heat to medium. Simmer until sauce reduces and thickens; about 20 minutes.
  • Remove sauce from heat. Stir in lemon juice and set aside.
  • Heat peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Cook and stir chicken in hot oil until golden, no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove chicken from skillet and set aside, leaving oil in the pan.
  • Cook and stir the stir-fry vegetables in the same skillet used for the chicken until vegetables are almost tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove ginger root piece from sauce and discard.
  • Stir chicken and sauce into vegetables and cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Serve over whole-wheat noodles.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken turned out dry and tough. I think I might have overcooked it.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have some cooked chicken in the fridge, so this is a quick and easy meal to throw together.

I'm not a big fan of bell peppers, so I substituted broccoli instead. It turned out great!

This dish was a bit too sour for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use less lemon juice.
