Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe. This is NOT spicy. This is savory Chinese. Really good flavors with no zip. I find this a great way to clear out the refrigerator. A good thing for using up the good parts of asparagus that are not the tips. You can use any of the cleared veggies for this dish. Then just supplement with traditional Chinese veggies if you want. Things like pea pods or bok choy.

Chinese food always comes together really fast so have your items chopped and ready to go so it all stays fresh-crisp and hot when you go to eat it.

If you have people in the family who truly want this HOT you can put hot sauce on the table and they can add it to their taste level.

Servings: Serve 2 (can be doubled or tripled easily)

For the veggie portion:

• 2 cups of veggies. I used: Red bell pepper, green beans, bok choy bits, onion and cherry tomatoes (the peppers, green beans etc can fill the 2 cups and 8 cherry tomatoes can be extra. They take up a lot of room so don’t count them in your two cups)
• ½ cup of chicken broth

For the chicken portion:

• 2 skinless chicken breast halves sliced crosswise into ¼” thick slices
• 2 Tbl of corn starch
• 2 Tbl of apple cider vinegar
• 4 Tbl of Bragg’s Aminos
• whisper of cayenne (optional)
• 1/3 cup of chicken broth (no sugar)

Instructions:

In a bowl, add the chicken, corn starch, vinegar and Bragg’s. Stir thoroughly to mix up.  Set aside for a few minutes to blend.

Spray a large sauté pan with olive oil spray. Put in all of the veggies except the cherry tomatoes. Cook on medium to loosen. Add the chicken broth and simmer on low 2 minutes. Turn off and add the cherry tomatoes.

In another sauté pan spray with olive oil and heat the pan up. Add the chicken mixture. Begin to cook on medium, stirring often. When the chicken starts to stick, add the chicken broth and loosen up all the bits that stuck. Stir them around and break them up where necessary.  Saute chicken on medium until no pink is remaining. This won’t take more than a few minutes. If the pan dries out, add more chicken broth.

If you are going to add your whisper of cayenne this is the time to do it.

When the chicken is done, combine the two mixtures into one pan and stir. Everything should still be hot. The veggies should have a bit of crunch left to them but if not… don’t worry. They’ll still taste good.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
