Ingredients:
1 tsp. Olive Oil
3 Cloves Garlic – finely chopped
4 fresh Scallions (green onions) - chopped
1 medium Orange - juiced
¼ tsp. Balsamic Vinegar
3 tbs. Honey
¼ tsp. Crushed Red Pepper (or more if you like it spicy)
2 Chicken Breasts (skinless) – cut into small cubes
2 tbs. Fresh Chopped Basil
1 cup Chopped Broccoli
1 carrot thinly sliced
Zest of 1 Lemon (if desired)
½ cup Sliced Mushrooms
1 cup Snow Peas (or fresh peas in the pod)
Pepper to taste
Add olive oil to a pre-heated large skillet and toss in garlic and scallions — cook until lightly browned (about 3 minutes). Add orange juice, balsamic vinegar, honey and crushed red peppers and stir until completely mixed. Add chicken and cook over medium heat until browned and most of the juices have cooked down (about 10 minutes). Add remaining ingredients, cover and reduce heat to low. Allow to “steam” for about 10 minutes, or until the broccoli is cooked but still has a slight crunch. Pepper to taste and serve over brown rice.
If the juices completely evaporate during cooking, add another ¼ cup before cooking vegetables.
