    Servings and Ingredients

    Ingredients
    Serves 5
    QuantityIngredientAdd
    4 tbsp. Hy-Vee light soy sauce
    1 tbsp. rice vinegar
    1 tbsp. grated fresh ginger or 1 tsp Hy-Vee ground ginger
    2 tsp. minced garlic
    1 tsp. toasted sesame oil
    ⅛ tsp. Hy-Vee crushed red pepper
    1 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
    4 tsp. Hy-Vee canola oil, divided
    6 c. assorted vegetables (such as thinly sliced carrots, broccoli florets, red onion wedges, red bell pepper strips and sugar snap peas) or 1 (16 oz) bag Hy-Vee frozen stir-fry vegetables
    2 tsp. Hy-Vee cornstarch
    ¾ c. Hy-Vee 33%-less-sodium chicken broth
    2 c. hot cooked quinoa
    1 tbsp. sesame seeds, toasted

    Directions

    1. For marinade, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, sesame oil and crushed red pepper. Place chicken in a resealable plastic bag set in shallow dish. Add marinade; seal. Chill for 30 minutes, turning once. Drain, reserving marinade.
    2. In a large skillet, heat 3 teaspoons canola oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken to skillet. Cook, stirring only when browned, until most of pink is gone, about 10 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet; keep warm.
    3. Add remaining 1 teaspoon canola oil and assorted vegetables to skillet; cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes or until crisp-tender. In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch into chicken broth, then whisk in reserved marinade. Cook and stir about 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in chicken; heat through. Serve over quinoa. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
