Chicken Stir Fry Recipe - Spicy Chicken Broccoli Stir Fry

This is a healthy Chinese style stir fry that has a little bit of heat to it from chili oil. Chili oil is made from red chile peppers. Be sure to only use a little bit at a time, then do a taste test to ensure that you don't make it too hot for some people's delicate taste buds.

You'll also be using bok choy, which is a common green used in Chinese style cooking. Bok choy is a great source of calcium and vitamins C and A. It's also pretty tasty too. Most supermarkets will carry bok choy leaves in the fresh vegetable section.

To make this dish you'll need: 1 pound of bok choy or 7 stalks, vegetable oil, chili oil, 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves - cut into 1-inch pieces, 1 package of frozen broccoli stir fry meal starter and chow mein noodles.

Prepare the bok choy by separating the leaves from the stems. Cut the leaves into 2-inch pieces and cut the stems into 1/4-inch slices. Set aside.

In a large skillet, heat up both 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon (or less) or chili oil over medium high heat until hot. Add in the cubed chicken and cook, stirring constantly, for 5 to 7 minutes, or until chicken loses its pinkness.

Stir in the frozen vegetables, sliced bok choy stems and sauce packet from frozen vegetables. Cover pan and cook, stirring occasionally, for 6 to 8 minutes, or until vegetables are tender crisp.

Add in the bok choy leaves and cook, stirring constantly, for 3 to 4 minutes, or until leaves are slightly wilted. Sprinkle on chow mein noodles. Serve immediately.
