INGREDIENTS

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 3/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 cups sliced celery
  • 1 1/2 cups sliced carrots
  • 4 teaspoons canola oil, divided
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in 1/2-inch strips
  • 1/4 cup coarsely chopped peanuts
  • Hot cooked rice

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a small bowl, combine the first five ingredients until smooth; set aside. In a nonstick skillet or wok, stir-fry celery and carrots in 2 teaspoons oil until crisp-tender. Remove and keep warm. In the same skillet, stir-fry chicken in remaining oil until no longer pink.
  2. Return vegetables to the pan. Stir orange juice mixture and add to the pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Sprinkle with nuts. Serve over rice if desired.
