Apples are in season, and they're good for more than you'd think! Try out my savory stir fry that uses apples for a touch of sweetness, and make an "apple pie" healthy by focusing on the apples!
lb (450g) chicken breast, cut into cubes 2 tsp coconut oil 2 carrots, sliced 1 cup (150g) onions, sliced 2 cloves garlic, diced 1 apple, chopped 8 oz can (225g) water chestnuts, drained ½ tsp salt & pepper ¼ cup (60mL) broth (chicken or vegetable) 2 Tbsp soy sauce ½ tsp ground ginger ½ tsp sesame oil • Combine broth, soy sauce, ground ginger and sesame oil for sauce. Set aside. • In a large saucepan, add coconut oil, followed by onion, carrots, & garlic. Sauté over medium high heat until onions are translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Then add in cubed chicken. • Once chicken is mostly cooked through, 5-7 minutes, add in chopped apples. • Stir in the sauce and allow it to come a boil, then allow to simmer 5-10 minutes until thickened. • Last, add water chestnuts. Allow to saute for another minute before serving and enjoy! Yum!
