Ingredients

1 Lemon
1/2 cup Reduced-sodium chicken broth
3 tablespoons Reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons Cornstarch
1 tablespoon Canola oil
1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
10 ounces Mushrooms, halved or quartered
1 cup Diagonally sliced carrots , (1/4 inch thick)
2 cups Snow peas , (6 ounces), stems and strings removed
1 tablespoon Chopped garlic

Preparation

1. Grate 1 teaspoon lemon zest and set aside. Juice the lemon and whisk 3 tablespoons of the juice with broth, soy sauce and cornstarch in a small bowl.

2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate with tongs. Add mushrooms and carrots to the pan and cook until the carrots are just tender, about 5 minutes. Add snow peas, scallion whites, garlic and the reserved lemon zest. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds. Whisk the broth mixture and add to the pan; cook, stirring, until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add scallion greens and the chicken and any accumulated juices; cook, stirring, until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes.
