How to Make Lemon Chicken And Spring Veg Noodles

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook gently for 1 minute, until fragrant. Add 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces, and cook for 5 minutes, until almost cooked through.
  2. Pour 1 cup of chicken stock into the pan along with the zest and juice of 1 lemon, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of grated ginger.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water until smooth. Whisk this slurry into the pan.
  4. Bring the sauce to a boil, stirring constantly. Return the chicken to the pan and coat it in the sauce.
  5. Reduce the heat to low.
  6. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
  7. Meanwhile, cook 8 oz of noodles and 1 cup of mixed spring vegetables (e.g., broccoli florets, snap peas, carrots) in a separate pot of boiling water for 4 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Drain well.
  8. Toss the cooked chicken and sauce with the noodles and vegetables. Stir in 2 chopped scallions.
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional).
