Chicken and Vegetable Stir-Fry
Yield: 6 servings


1 pound chicken tenders or breasts (see recipe for marinade)
1 box whole wheat pasta*
3 bell peppers *recommended 1 green, 1 red, 1 yellow
1 package white mushrooms
1 red onion
1 package spinach
1 can chickpeas
Garlic
Vegetable oil
1/2 can chicken broth
Marinade for chicken
1 cup orange juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 pinch corn starch
1 tablespoon Sriracha hot sauce
1 pinch powdered ginger

1. In a large bowl, mix the orange juice, soy sauce, Sriracha hot sauce, powdered ginger and corn starch.
2. Slice the chicken into about 1 ½ inch cubes and place in the bowl with the marinade, cover with plastic wrap, and put in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
3. Cut peppers into slices and chop the mushrooms and red onion. Strain and rinse chickpeas.
4. Heat the vegetable oil and garlic in a medium size pan. A wok is ideal, but a pan will serve the same purpose. Cook the chicken for about 8 minutes.
5. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pan and set aside for later use. Heat the pan with garlic and vegetable oil and add the peppers, red onion, and mushrooms. Cook for about 5 minutes, occasionally moving around the vegetables to evenly cook them.
6. Add chickpeas and spinach, cook for a few minutes until the spinach begins to wither.
7. Add chicken broth and continue to move around ingredients to evenly cook them. Lower the heat of
the pan to a low simmer and cover.
8. Cook pasta in a pot of boiling water according to package directions and toss with a touch of vegetable oil. Serve stir fry with the pasta.
