A quick, healthy stir fry packed with flavour, perfect over rice, quinoa, or pasta.
Ingredients
375 g whole wheat spaghettini
1-2 cups broccoli florets (or any stir fry veggie mix you like)
1 lb chicken breast, cut in 1-2" cubes or small strips
3 Tbsp olive oil
⅓ cup cornstarch
2 egg whites
SAUCE:
¼ cup soy sauce
½ cup honey
2 cloves garlic, minced or grated
Instructions
Bring large pot of water to a boil to cook noodles according to package directions. Add broccoli to the noodles for the last 4 minutes of cooking time. When done, drain well and toss with 1 Tbsp olive oil.
Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 Tbsp olive oil. Put corn starch and egg whites in two separate shallow bowls.
While oil heats, whisk together soy sauce, honey, and garlic in a small bowl and set aside.
Dip chicken in egg whites, then lightly coat in cornstarch. Add to hot skillet (it should sizzle when you place it in - if not, wait for your oil to heat up more) and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden. Do the chicken in batches if needed. When all the chicken is seared, add sauce mixture and let simmer 5 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Toss cooked noodles and broccoli with sauce mixture and serve immediately.
