Chicken, Broccoli, And Cashew Stir-Fry (Flat Belly Diet Recipe) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 cups broccoli florets, with short stems (about 1/2 lb crowns)
2 carrots, cut into thin diagonal slices (2 c)
5 ounces soba noodles
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, sliced crosswise (6 oz each)
1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
3 medium scallions, thinly sliced (about 1/2 c)
1/2 cup chicken broth, reduced-sodium, fat-free
1/2 cup cashews, unsalted raw (3 oz)

Preparation

Bring large pot of water to a boil. Add broccoli, carrots, and noodles. Cover and cook until vegetables are crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain, transfer to medium bowl, and cover loosely with wax paper.
Heat olive oil, ginger, and garlic in wok or large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring, until garlic starts to turn golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add chicken, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Stir-fry 4 to 5 minutes, or until cooked through. Add scallions and stir-fry 1 minute.
Stir in noodles, veggies, and broth and heat through. Sprinkle each portion with 2 tablespoons of the cashews.
