Lots of fresh garlic and ginger give this chicken-veggie stir fry tons of flavour. Stir the chili paste in or leave it on the side to suit your taste.

4 medium, whites cut in 1-in pieces, greens sliced, divided

Fat-free reduced sodium chicken broth

½ cup(s), (125 ml) divided

Ginger root

Instructions

  1. Combine chicken and 30 ml (2 Tbsp) teriyaki sauce in a medium bowl; let stand 10 minutes.

  3. Add remaining teaspoon oil, broccoli, pepper, carrot, water chestnuts and white part of scallions to same skillet; drizzle with 60 ml (1/4 cup) broth and reduce heat to medium-high. Stir-fry until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 8 minutes.
  4. Add scallion greens, ginger and garlic to skillet; stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  5. Add chicken and any accumulated juices back to skillet; add remaining 30 ml (2 Tbsp) broth, remaining 30 ml (2 Tbsp) teriyaki sauce and water. Cook, until heated through, stirring, about 1 minute. Stir in chili paste, if using. Serve with rice. Yields about 310 ml (1 1/4 cups) chicken-vegetable mixture and 125 ml (1/2 cup) rice per serving.
