mayonnaise
"green things" like green spices in pasta
salad dressing!
I know, I'm sure you're thinking, how can someone hate these everyday items? I just never acquired a taste...the green thing "thing" is getting better, and now it looks like I'm working on the salad dressing thing. Just not on my lettuce;)
So on Monday's as I've mentioned I like to make easy meals, if I can, because I'm tired from the long day at work and just want to re-lax! So the week before, when I was making up my menu, I went thru my Kraft magazine recipes and found Sweet and Spicy Chicken Stir Fry. I had never tried this specific recipe before, so there was that hint of uh oh and then the I can do it and it will be great! It was a decent amount of prep work, but the end result was well worth it - ask my husband, he had 3 helpings!
You will need:
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite size pieces
1 tbsp oil
3 cups chopped mixed veggies of your choice - I used fresh pea pods, red and green pepper, and mushrooms, and a can (drained) of sliced water chestnuts.
1 clove garlic, minced (I like to just buy the jarred minced garlic in the produce section)
1/4 cup Catalina salad dressing
2 tbsp hoisin sauce
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper - of course I used more - I'm sure you know why at this point:)
Cook the chicken in the hot oil in a large pan over high heat for 3 minutes
Add veggies and garlic, cooking for 5-6 minutes or until chicken is lightly browned, and stirring frequently.
Stir in remaining ingredients and cook an additional 2 minutes or until chicken is cooked thru and veggies are to your liking.
I served this over white rice and enjoyed:) Hope you do too!
***On another note, there's some crazy weather coming way tomorrow, including snow, sleet, and ice. I know the rest of the U.S. has been experiencing this too, so be safe out there!***
