Posted Jan. 20, 2017

In the continuing quest for enjoyable and wholesome foods to fuel our pursuit of physical, spiritual, mental and social well-being I found a sweet and spicy chicken dish that's packed with protein, vitamins and nutrients. My post-training meal last night was quick, simple and delicious. Try it out:

• 1 lbs. Boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into cubes
• 1 lbs. Broccoli Florets
• 2 large scallions
• 3 tangerines
• ¼ cup Soy Sauce
• 2 tsp. Sriracha
• 2 TBS. Honey
• 2 TBS. Rice Vinegar
• 1 TBS Canola Oil
• 2 tsp. Sesame Oil
• 1 TBS Corn Starch

Cook cubed chicken and diced scallions in large skillet or wok with canola and sesame oil. Steam broccoli 3 to 5 minutes.

Whisk remaining liquid ingredients and the juice from one tangerine together with corn starch in a bowl for sauce.

Toss broccoli in with cooked chicken. Add sauce. Toss in segments from remaining tangerines. Heat just until sauce thickens.

Serve alone or with a side of rice or quinoa.
