Foodie Friday! ::: Honey-Lemon Chicken Stir-Fry

Honey-Lemon Chicken Stir-Fry
What's for Dinner Tonight?!


This stir-fry is easy to make and you can use whatever vegetables you have on hand. It has a sweet, mild flavor that is quite delicious and sure to please.

Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil
2 chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 large onion, sliced
4 carrots, sliced at an angle
1 small head of broccoli, cut into florets
4 tbsp soy sauce
3 tbsp rice vinegar
1 1/2 tsp curry powder
2 toothpicks Ginger Essential Oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
(lemon slices, green onion, &/or sesame seeds to top)


Sauce Ingredients
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot powder
1-1/2 tbsp honey
5–7 drops Lemon Essential Oil

Directions
Sauté heated olive oil onion and carrots, over medium heat for a few minutes*.

h/t AromaTools
Mix together soy sauce, rice vinegar, and Ginger Essential Oil in a small bowl.

Add chicken, soy sauce mixture, curry powder, salt, and pepper to the vegetables. Stir to make sure everything is coated and mixed well. Continue to cook until chicken is cooked through.

In a separate bowl, whisk together all of the sauce ingredients.

Once chicken is cooked, add broccoli, cover, and let steam for a minute. Remove from heat, and transfer the chicken and vegetables to a clean bowl, leaving the soy sauce mixture in the pan.

Pour the sauce mixture into the pan with the soy sauce mixture, and cook over medium-high heat for 2–3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.

Pour the chicken and vegetables back into the pan, and evenly coat with the sauce.
Serve immediately over rice, and top with lemon slices, green onion, &/or sesame seeds.

* Always heat your cooking oils before adding food - it creates a more even cooking surface.
