Almond Chicken Stir-Fry

By: Margaret Wilson 
"Margaret Wilson of Hemet, California shared the recipe for this yummy mainstay. Pineapple juice, ginger and soy sauce lend a slightly tangy flavor to the chicken strips and veggies in this pretty blend. A package of frozen vegetables speeds along the prep time, making this a quick meal for busy weeknights."

Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into thin strips
  • 3/4 cup sliced almonds
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 (16 ounce) package frozen broccoli stir-fry vegetable blend
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
  • 1/3 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • Hot cooked rice

Directions

  1. In a large nonstick skillet or wok, stir-fry chicken and almonds in hot oil for 2 minutes. Add vegetables. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook for 4 minutes or until vegetables are tender and chicken is no longer pink.
