Asian Chicken Stir Fry

May 21st, 2011 Nancy

Here’s another quick and easy way to use leftover Asian Chicken.  For convenience sake, I use frozen veggies but they get mushy.  I have read if you thaw the veggies and run them through a salad spinner before cooking they will be less mushy.  Let me know if you try it.   Fresh veggies would be best if you have the time to prepare them.  This recipe is easily adapted to your preferences.  Mushrooms and sesame seeds would be excellent additions.

Ingredients:

  • 2-3 Tbsp Palm Shortening or oil of choice
  • 1/4 Onion, chopped
  • 2 packs frozen Asian or stir-fry veggies (make sure they are sauce free)
  • 3 cups Rice, cooked*
  • 3 leftover Asian Chicken Breasts, chopped
  • Reduced Asian Chicken Marinade
  • Ginger
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Directions:

1.  Melt palm shortening in pan.  Cook onion until clear.

2.  Add veggies and cook just until tender.

3.  Add chicken and rice and cook until heated through.

4. Season with reduced marinade, ginger, salt and pepper to taste.

*Every couple of weeks I cook up a large pot of rice and divide into 3 cup containers to store in the freezer.

You might also like Asian Chicken Salad, Ginger-Lime Marinade for Chicken, and Honey Mustard Chicken.

Asian Chicken Noodle Soup

May 19th, 2011 Nancy

Over the weekend, it went from spring to fall here!  The warm sunshine has been replaced by cold rain.  Many of us in this household have had the sniffles.  It was time for soup.  The leftover Asian Chicken in the fridge inspired me to make this soup.  Let me tell you, it was really good!

 

It’s nothing like traditional chicken noodle soup.  The tamari, lime and ginger in the broth is amazing.   The cilantro adds something unexpected although I suspect if you’re not a cilantro fan the soup would be good without it.   The ingredient list looks long, but I assure you this is a very simple soup to throw together.  If you don’t have cooked chicken on hand, just cook the chopped chicken with the oil and garlic until the chicken is done and follow the rest of the recipe.

 

Ingredients:

  • 1 Tbsp Palm Shortening or oil of your choice
  • 1 Tbsp Garlic, minced
  • 8 cups of Chicken Stock/Broth (I actually used 7 cups homemade stock and 1 cup water)
  • 1/4 cup Tamari Sauce (Soy-free recipes here and here)
  • 2 Tbsp Lime Juice
  • 1 Tbsp Ground Ginger
  • 1 Tbsp Sucanat or Brown Sugar
  • 1/8 – 1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes (I’m a wimp.  I used 1/8 tsp.)
  • 1 1/2 – 2 pounds Asian Chicken, cut into bite sized pieces (I’m sure unseasoned chicken would be fine.)
  • 1 cup Frozen Peas
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro, chopped
  • Angel Hair Pasta, cooked (I used spaghetti!)

 

It might be fun to add:

  • Mushrooms
  • Red Bell Pepper
  • Carrots
  • Sugar Snap Peas instead of Frozen Peas

 

Directions:
1. Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.  Add garlic and cook a couple minutes.
2. Add broth, tamari sauce, lime juice, sucanat, ginger, red pepper and chicken and boil 5 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and add peas and cilantro.  Let stand 2-3 minutes.
4. Serve soup over noodles.  Enjoy!

Asian Chicken Marinade Recipe

May 17th, 2011 Nancy

I served this chicken for Mother’s Day dinner.  Most of the men ate the chicken as is while the ladies enjoyed their chicken as the feature of their Asian Chicken Salad.  I reduced the leftover marinade to use as a salad dressing.  This makes enough marinade for about 6 chicken breasts.

Ingredients:

  • 1 Cup White Vinegar
  • 1/4 cup Tamari Sauce (Soy-free recipes here and here)
  • 3/4 cup Honey or 1 cup White Sugar (I bet sucanat or brown sugar would be really good!  You would need to heat it to dissolve the sugar.)

 

Directions:

1.  Blend ingredients.
2. Marinade chicken at least 30 minutes.
3.  Grill as usual.
4.  Reduce the marinade to use as salad dressing for your Asain Chicken Salad and/or seasoning for your Asian Stir Fry.

You might also enjoy Grilled Pantry Pork Chops, Ginger-Lime Marinade for Chicken and Honey Mustard Chicken.
