It's amazing just how easy and flavorful Lean and Green Recipes can be! This quick dish comes together easily and can be made in just a few minutes using a rotisserie chicken!
You can also make it from scratch -or- simply cook a few extra chicken breasts earlier in the week when making other meals. This low carb meal has a little bit of a kick of flavor and is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal.
If using a rotisserie chicken, slice and shred 24 ounces of breast meat and set aside (for 4 servings)
To cook chicken sous vide: Season chicken breasts with Dash of Desperation Seasoning, place in cooking bag and cook at 149° F for 55 minutes. Remove from bag and shred. Set aside.
To cook chicken stove top: Spray a large pan with nonstick spray. Season chicken breasts with Dash of Desperation Seasoning and cook on medium high heat for 5-7 minutes on each side until a temp of 155° F is reached. Set aside to cool, then shred.
SAUCE & Complete the Meal
Spray a medium sized pan with nonstick spray and place over high heat.
When hot, add scallions and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until slightly wilted.
Place 4 equal portions of sauteed scallions on plates.
Put the pan back over medium high heat. Add peppers and sauté for 1 minute. Add the stock, soy sauce, Wok On and sweetener. Bring to a simmer then reduce heat to medium. Toss chicken in the pan with the sauce. Divide into 4 equal portions and place on top of scallions. Drizzle each plate with 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, fresh chopped scallions and a pinch of Toasted Sesame Ginger seasoning. Serve hot.
