Why is it that I can hand my husband a cooking magazine and he flips for maybe 2.3 seconds and finds the most amazing recipe! While I, on the other hand, will spend a solid 20-30 minutes "skimming" everything and still not know what to do. It isn't fair. However, I do appreciate that he takes the guess work out from my end! All I have to do is go shopping for the stuff and then play my pandora and cook away! This little number came from "Cooking for 2" magazine.
Here is the recipe, (altered for double the sauce b/c my husband likes extra sauce):
2 t veggie oil
1/4 c diagonally sliced carrots (I used a little baby carrot snack bag, and it was fine)
1/4 c sliced celery (I did 4 stalks)
8 oz chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch pieces (I used uncut chicken strips)
1/2 c OJ
2 t cornstarch
2 T soy sauce
2 t honey
1/2 t ginger
2 T cashews (I cut mine up a bit)
2 T sliced green onions
2/3 c rice (1 cup uncooked per package instructions)
1. First step, I started my rice and let it cook while I did everything else.
2. In a large skillet, heat some veggie oil on high. Add carrots and celery, cook 2 min. Add chicken and cook 3-5 min, or until done.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together OJ, cornstarch, soy sauce, honey and ginger. Add this to your chicken skillet mixture. Cook over medium heat until thickened. Cook 1 minute more. Top with cashews and green onions. Serve over rice.
Super quick and easy! My husband loved it, just wanted there to be more sauce, but definitely a keeper!!
