So many of the stir fry recipes that I see tell you to use a bottle of “stir fry sauce.” Where’s the technique in that? So I was pleased when I found this recipe from the April 2011 issue of <\/em>All You (original here<\/a>), that includes a sauce you make yourself. The recipe was developed by dietician Heidi McIndoo.<\/em><\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/h4>\n
    \n
  • 1\/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth <\/li>\n

  • 3 tablespoons canola oil <\/li>\n
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces <\/li>\n
  • 4 cups of your favorite vegetables (broccoli cut into bite-size pieces, shredded carrots, thinly sliced red bell peppers, chopped onion or thin green beans) <\/li>\n

    3. Turn heat up to high. <\/li>\n
    4. Pour in 1 Tbsp. canola oil and, once hot, add half of chicken and sauté until cooked through, about 5 minutes. <\/li>\n
    5. Remove to a plate. <\/li>\n
    6. Repeat with 1\/2 Tbsp. oil and remaining chicken. <\/li>\n
    7. Add vegetables and 1 1\/2 Tbsp. oil to wok; sauté until tender, about 3 minutes. <\/li>\n
    8. Add garlic; sauté 1 minute. <\/li>\n
    9. Return chicken to wok; add pineapple, if desired. <\/li>\n
    10. Pour in chicken broth mixture and stir well. <\/li>\n
