Chicken, Almond, & Veggie Stir Fry

This is delicious and serves you your protein, grains, nuts and veggies all in one dish! Has great flavor with the marinate and great crunch with the almonds!

Ingredients:

1 lb. chicken, cubed

1/2 cup soy sauce

3 TBSP sherry wine

3 TBSP rice vinegar

1 TBSP ginger

2 cloves garlic

2 TBSP oil, grape seed or olive

1/2 cup slivered almonds

5 green onions, diced

1/2 cup chicken broth

2 TBSP cornstarch, dissolved in 1 TBSP chicken broth

4 cups chopped veggies (broccoli, green beans, snap peas, carrots, ???)

Directions:

In a bowl, combine your soy sauce, sherry, vinegar, garlic, and ginger. Wash and cube you chicken and let it marinate in a bowl for 15 minutes (on the counter) - 1 hour (in the fridge). Heat a large pan with your oil, when it is hot, add your almonds and toast them for about 1 minute. Remove them to a clean plate. Next add your green onions for about 30 seconds until they turn a bright green, then remove them to the same plate with the almonds. With a slotted spoon remove the chicken from the marinate (saving the marinate for later) and your veggies and let cook for 1-2 minutes. Then add your chicken broth and marinate and bring to a boil. Add back your almonds and onions, add the cornstarch (dissolved in chicken broth) and stir continually until thickened. Serve over brown rice.
