| Cashews are full of good-for-you, monounsaturated fat. In this Chinese stir-fry dish, they offer the perfect crunch next to strips of chicken, red pepper, and carrots infused with soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and scallion. All is served over a bed of baby spinach and shredded iceberg lettuce. INGREDIENTS: Serves: Prep: 25min Cook: 14min Total: 39min | |
| 12 ounces | boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into thin crosswise strips |
| 4 tablespoons | reduced-sodium soy sauce |
| 1/2 teaspoon | crushed red-pepper flakes |
| 3 tablespoons | raw cashews |
| 2 tablespoons | olive |
| canola oil, alternative | |
| 5 cloves | garlic, slivered |
| 1 1/2 tablespoons | slivered peeled fresh ginger |
| 1 large | red bell pepper, cut into thin strips |
| 2 medium | carrots, cut into thin slices |
| 4 | scallions, diagonally sliced |
| 1/2 cup | orange juice |
| 3 cups | shredded iceberg lettuce |
| 3 cups | baby spinach |
| DIRECTIONS: In a medium bowl, mix the chicken, 2 tablespoons of the soy sauce, and the red-pepper flakes, to taste. Cover and set aside. Cook the cashews in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring often, for 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Tip onto a plate and let cool. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly golden. Add the chicken and stirfry for 3 to 4 minutes, or until no longer pink. Transfer to a clean bowl. Place the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the same skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper and carrots, and stir-fry for 3 minutes. Add the scallions and stir-fry for 2 minutes longer, or until the vegetables are crisp-tender. Return the chicken and any juices to the skillet. Add the orange juice and the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce. Bring to a boil, stirring. Let boil for 30 seconds; remove from the heat. Mix the lettuce and spinach on a large, deep platter or in a wide, shallow bowl. Spoon the chicken mixture on top. Sprinkle with the cashews and serve immediately.
