Lemon Chicken Stir-Fry

1/4 cup sesame oil

1 pound boneless chicken breasts cut into one half-inch strips

1 cup fresh broccoli florets
1 sweet onion, coarsely chopped
1 carrot, grated
1 Tbsp. grated fresh ginger

Zest from 1 lemon

1 8-oz. can water chestnuts, drained

Hot cooked rice or noodles

Heat oil in a large skillet or wok; stir-fry chicken for several minutes. Add fresh broccoli, onion, carrot and ginger and cook until crisp-tender.

With a zester, remove zest from lemon peel. Add lemon zest, lemon juice and water chestnuts and cook until heated through. Serve over rice or noodles.


Use skinless chicken to cut down on the fat. It will be great tasting either way, :-)
