Skillet Ginger Chicken with Cilantro and Lime
Ingredients
8 oz Vermicelli or whole-wheat angel hair pasta (dry)
2 tsp Peanut oil
3 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tbsp Minced fresh ginger
1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
¼ cup Reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tsp Toasted sesame oil
2 tbsp Fresh lime juice
¼ cup Chopped fresh cilantro
¼ cup Chopped scallions (white and green parts)
Lime wedges for garnish (optional)
Preparation
Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain, reserving ¼ cup of cooking water.
Meanwhile, heat peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and ginger, and cook 1 minute. Add chicken and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add reserved cooking water, soy sauce, sesame oil and lime juice. Bring to a simmer. Add pasta and cook 1 minute to heat through, stirring frequently.
Remove from heat and stir in cilantro and scallions. Serve with lime wedges on the side, if desired.
