I made something very similar without the chicken once before and absolutely loved it. It's also great reheated. I modified this recipe from one that I found off of . Enjoy! Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips |
ground black pepper |
2 teaspoons vegetable oil |
2 teaspoons butter or 2 teaspoons margarine |
1 medium onion, sliced |
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic |
3/4 lb zucchini, thinly sliced |
1/2 lb yellow squash, thinly sliced |
1/2 cup shredded carrot |
1 lemon, juice and zest of |
2 cups cooked rice |
1/2 cup walnut halves (optional) |
Directions:
1. Season chicken with pepper to taste.
2. In large skillet, stir-fry in oil until lightly browned and tender. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
3. Add butter to pan and stir-fry onion and garlic until onion is just tender.
4. Add zucchini, squash, and carrot and stir-fry over medium heat for 3 minutes.
5. Add chicken and heat through.
6. Stir in lemon peel, lemon juice and (optional) walnut halves. Toss to mix.
7. Serve over hot cooked rice.
