Lemon Chicken Stir fry


This is pretty quick, easy, and it has lots of vegies. We love it because Valorie will eat it (although she does pick out the broccoli and leave it on her tray). :)

Ingredients:

1 cup fresh broccoli florets
1 cup red bell pepper, chopped
1 medium carrot, coarsely chopped
1 tsp fresh ginger root, peeled and finely chopped (I substitute ground ginger)
3 green onions w/tops, sliced
1 lemon (or a couple tsp lemon juice)
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
2 cups water
2 packages (2.8 oz each) baked chicken flavored ramen noodles (I use regular chicken)

Chop bell pepper, carrot and ginger root with food chopper. Slice green onion in 1 inch pieces. Zest whole lemon. Cut chicken into thin strips (I cube it). Heat skillet over medium heat and spray with vegetable oil. Add chicken, stir-fry 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently. Add ginger root, stir-fry 30 sec. Add water, bring to boil. Add noodles, broken in pieces and season packets from noodles. Bring to a boil, reduce heat. Add broccoli and carrot, simmer 3 minutes or until noodles are tender and most of liquid is absorbed. Add bell pepper, green onion, and lemon zest to skillet. Heat through. Drissle with fresh lemon juice. Serve immediately.
