Preparation

Step 1

In a non-stick skillet or wok, heat sesame oil. Add garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds. Add chicken and cook in hot oil for 4 to 5 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Remove chicken from skillet. Add pea pods, red pepper and mushrooms and cook, stirring, until tender-crisp, about 3 minutes; sprinkle with pepper.

Combine applesauce, vinegar, soy sauce, cornstarch and chicken broth. Add chicken to vegetables, add sauce mixture and cook until sauce is thickened and clear, about 4 minutes.

Serve over steamed brown rice.
