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. 

Chicken & Rice

Add 1 1/2 C RAW rice to a 13X9 casserole dish

Add about 1/2-1 C of shredded cheese on top of rice

Add chicken breasts ( I used 3 Huge ones and just cut in 2-3 pieces), 3 C. cold water, 1 can cream of chicken soup, 1 pkg onion soup mix (I didnt have any so I crushed 2 beef boullion cubes & some onion powder and it tasted the same) and whatever seasoning you want on chicken.

Bake at 350 for 1 hour

add 1/2-1 C. shredded cheese and bake for 30 more min (cover with foil)
