Ingredients
  

Marinade:
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp raw unpasteurized honey
  • 1 tbsp organic vegetable oil
  • 4 boneless skinless organic chicken breasts, cubed
  • 2 tbsp organic vegetable oil
Stir-fry:
  • 1/2 organic red pepper, roughly chopped
  • 6-8 organic cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • salt and pepper for seasoning
  • 1 cup basmati rice
  • green onion, garnish

Method
 

  1. In a medium sauce pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add rice, turn down heat to minimum and cover. Simmer for 20 minutes, until the water is dissolved and rice is cooked.
Marinade:
  1. In a small bowl, whisk fresh ginger, garlic, soy sauce, honey and vegetable oil.
  2. Cut the chicken breasts into bite size pieces and add to a medium bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken and coat chicken thoroughly so all of the marinate is mixed in. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or up 4-6 hours.
Stir-fry:
  1. Heat oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat, add sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 3 minutes. Add red pepper and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from skillet and transfer into a bowl and set aside.
  2. The skillet/frying pan should remain hot, add tablespoon of oil. Fry chicken until it is fully cooked about 10 minutes. You want to get a nice brown crust on the chicken. Avoid burning the chicken if too hot, and if not hot enough, liquid will release from the chicken and it wouldn't brown. Adjust the heat accordingly. Once chicken is cooked and has a nice brown crust, add the mushrooms and red pepper back into the skillet. Sauté for another 2 minutes.
  3. Serve the chicken with rice. Garnish with green onions.
