Asian Style Chicken and Green Vegetables
Ingredients:
Chicken Marinade:
1 1/4 - 1 1/2 lbs. chicken tenders (I used organic, but this isn't required) - cut each tender into thirds
1 small shallot - finely minced
about 4 tbs Worcestershire
about 4 tbs Tamari or soy sauce (I used Tamari)
1/4 cup dry white cooking wine
3 tbs olive oil
2 medium cloves of garlic - grated or finely minced (I grated)
freshly ground black pepper - pinch
Combine all above ingredients in bowl or zip lock bag and marinate in refrigerator for anywhere from one hour to four hours
one medium zucchini - 3/4 inch slices cut into quarters
one head of broccoli - cut into small pieces, stems and florets (cut stems small so they cook fully)
10 oz. baby bella mushrooms (I used whole, but then I sliced them thinly, so you could buy whole or sliced)
1/4 cup chicken stock or broth
1 medium clove garlic finely minced
more olive oil
you will need more olive oil to sauté the vegetables in a pan on the stove
first, saute the mushrooms in about three tablespoons (tbs) olive oil and season with a little salt and pepper, cook until brown and then remove and place in separate dish. remove mushrooms with a slotted spoon, leaving behind the oil for the other vegetables.
next, cook the zucchini. if needed, add more oil. cook until zucchini is al dente. add a little salt and pepper. remove zucchini
now add the broccoli and saute with garlic, stirring frequently. add a little salt and pepper. you may need to add more olive oil to the broccoli. saute the broccoli and garlic, stirring frequently, for 3-5 minutes, until garlic starts to brown. then, add 1/4 cup of chicken stock or chicken broth. cover, lower heat, and let simmer for 3-5 minutes until broccoli is softened. remove lid until all the liquid is absorbed. be careful not to over cook the broccoli. remove broccoli (discard any liquid if the broccoli fully cooks before all the liquid is absorbed).
Add about 3 tbs olive oil to the pan and let heat up. add the marinated chicken. cook on one side until brown then flip over and cook other side. (about 3 minutes on each side) (cut a piece to make sure chicken is fully cooked)
once the chicken is fully cooked, add all of the vegetables and toss together and you're done! enjoy!
