Chicken "Lo Mein"

Another delicious, easy meal to add to our weekly arsenal

This one comes from the recipe book, "Make it Paleo" which has a TON of delicious recipes in it. 

Chicken "Lo Mein"

What you need:

Toasted sesame oil (we used coconut oil)

1 tbsp minced ginger (fresh ginger!)

1 tbsp minced garlic (we forgot this one and just used garlic powder)

1 lb. chicken, cubed

2 cups broccoli

1/2 water chestnuts (I'm not a fan, so we omitted these)

1/4 cup celery, chopped (Jason's not a fan, so we omitted this as well)

1/2 cup shiitake mushrooms, stems removed and cut in half

1/4 cup almonds, chopped

2 cups shredded cabbage

1/4 cup green onion, chopped

1/4 coconut aminos (we couldn't find this--we used tamari sauce, which is basically soy sauce but wheat free)

sesame seeds to garnish

What you do:

Heat the wok or skillet over high heat. 

Add sesame oil (or coconut oil), minced ginger, and garlic and sauté for 1 minute to allow the flavors to infuse the oil.

Add chicken to the wok (or skillet), and cook, stirring frequently for 3-4 minutes, or until the chicken is mostly cooked.  

Add in broccoli, water chestnuts, celery, and shiitake mushrooms; sauté for 2 minutes. 

Add in almonds, cabbage, and green onion.

Pour in coconut aminos (or tamari (or soy sauce if you must ;) )(2-4 tbsp).

Cook 2-3 minutes, until cabbage softens a little. 

Remove from heat, and garnish with sesame seeds.
