Chicken & Broccoli Stir Fry

Cut up a few chicken breasts ( I used tenderloins and I used about 5)

steam a bunch of broccoli cut up into small florets- dont over cook as it will be cooked in wok

 cut up some carrots lengthwise (i used baby carrots and cut each one into 6 pieces) - I steamed this with broccoli. I also added 1/2 c. chopped onions to them while steaming as well

For the sauce mix together:

6 Tbsp soy sauce

3 Tbsp orange juice

2 tsp red wine vinegar

3 tsp sesame oil

3 tsp red pepper (if desired)

2 Tbsp cornstarch

1/2 tsp pepper

1 tsp ginger

1/2 tsp garlic powder

Mix well and set aside.

Set a wok over med heat and coat with 1 Tbsp sesame oil.. When oil is hot cook the chicken until done.

Add the sauce let it cook down a bit then add the carrots and broccoli. I also added a handful of cashews. It turned out super yummy

 Cook about 5 min. Serve over rice. 

Dutch Oven Potatoes, Carrots & Chicken

This was very yummy. My kids loved it!

There arent any real measurements just however much you want.

You will need

potatoes, peeled and diced up - 1 used about 5-6

1 onions chopped up

baby carrots- i used 3/4 of a 2 lb bag and i chopped them up

1 lb bacon

some chicken tenderloins cut up- i used about 10 i think

some shredded cheese

7-up/sprite - you can use a can i had a 2 liter and poured whatever i thought seemed good

Okay first get your dutch oven all heated up.

Fry the bacon in it, remove it and crumble or i used scissors and cut it up. and return to dutch oven. add your onion fry that for a bit. then add the potatoes, carrots and chicken. Pour the 7-up over and cook till done. I checked on it and stirred occasionally. When done top with cheese and heat until melted. Serve!

I found its really yummy to add some cajun seasoning or cayenne pepper. yummy!!
