Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 lb cooked chicken breast, 1/8 inch slices
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 (10 ounce) package frozen mixed vegetables (broccoli, green beans, red bell peppers, mushrooms)
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 (10 ounce) package fresh spinach

Steps:

  • Heat a large, heavy skillet or wok over high heat until water sizzles when dropped on the metal.
  • Add 1 1/2 Tablespoons of the oil and tilt the pan gently in all directions until the oil has coated the surface.
  • When the oil is hot (not to the point of smoking), add the chicken breast slices and stir-fry for 2 minutes.
  • Remove chicken to a bowl.
  • Add remaining oil to the skillet. When hot, add frozen vegetable mix and stir fry for about 4 minutes, until the larger pieces are cooked through.
  • Return chicken to skillet, add water and soy. Stir fry for an additional 2 minutes.
  • Add spinach. Cover and steam over medium heat for 2 minutes.
  • Using tongs, turn spinach once so it will heat evenly. Cover and steam for an additional 2 minutes.
  • Remove Chicken and vegetables with slotted spoon. Divide the liquid into small bowls to serve as a gravy or dip.
