Epicure’s Asian Chicken Stir-fry

A healthy stir-fry supper is all about timing, not time. A little oil, high heat and rapid searing or steaming of fresh ingredients is all it takes.

Makes 4 servings

Cost Per Serving: 2.47

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 - 2 Tbsp (15 - 30 ml) light soy sauce
• 1 tsp (5 ml) Epicure's Minced Garlic
• 2 Tbsp (30 ml) Epicure's Asian Stir-fry Seasoning
• 4 boneless chicken breasts, chopped
• 1 Tbsp (15 ml) vegetable oil
• 1 red onion, sliced
• 1 — 8 oz (227 ml) can water chestnuts

Instructions

1. Whisk first 3 ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add chicken, cover and marinate in refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
2. Place Epicure’s Eclipse^® Coated Wok or Epicure’s Eclipse^® Coated Professional Frying Pan over medium-high heat. Add oil and heat for 1 minute.
3. Add chicken and marinade. Flash-fry for 8-10 minutes. Add onion and chestnuts and toss to combine. Continue cooking for 5 minutes and serve warm.

Unlike deep-frying, stir-fried food retains little of the oil. The quick, high-heat cooking of stir-frying preserves more of the nutritional value.
