Chicken Broccoli Stir Fry

I was pretty surprised how much Jeff liked this one. It was a little too spicy for me with the crushed red pepper, but other than that, it was absolutely delicious, and super quick! He gobbled up two full plates within about ten minutes. It was great.



Prep time: 10 mins Total time: 25 mins Serves: 4

1/2 lb angel hair pasta (capellini), uncooked
2 1/2 cups fresh broccoli florets, uncooked
1 cup fresh shredded carrot (or diced carrot), uncooked
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or tenderloins, cut into bite-sized pieces (or thin strips, if you prefer)
1 cup Kraft Asian Toasted Sesame Dressing
4 Tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp ground ginger

1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper (if you like - we didn't & it was fine without)
2/3 cup chopped dry roasted peanuts


  • Cook pasta in large pot as directed on package. Add broccoli to boiling water for the last 3 mins.
  • Meanwhile, spray a large non-stick skillet with cooking spray; heat on medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces, shredded/diced carrot, and peanuts; cook 6-8 mins, or until done, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir dressing, soy sauce and seasonings into chicken; cook 1 min, stirring occasionally.
  • Drain pasta/broccoli; place in large bowl.
  • Add chicken/sauce mixture; mix lightly (tongs are the easiest way to mix this).
  • Serve
NOTE: Add in whatever vegetables you have on hand such as snow peas, sliced bell peppers, chopped red or green onions, etc. You can substitute them for the broccoli & carrots or just add them in.

Enjoy!
