Ingredients:
2 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 cup broccoli florets
1/2 cup celery, sliced
1/2 cup sweet red or green pepper
1 onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp gingerroot, minced [optl]
1/2 cup chicken stock
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp cornstarch
1 pinch salt
1 pinch pepper
Instructions:
Cut chicken into bite-size strips. In wok or large skillet, heat half
of the oil over medium-high heat; stir-fry chicken strips for about 3
minutes or until no longer pink. Transfer to bowl; set aside.
Add remaining oil to wok; stir-fry broccoli, celery, sweet pepper,
onion, garlic, and ginger for 1 minute. Pour in chicken stock; cover
and steam for about 2 minutes or until vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return chicken to wok along with any accumulated juices. Whisk soy
sauce with cornstarch; stir into wok. Cook, stirring, for about 1
minute or until sauce is thickened slightly. Stir in salt and pepper.

Tip: instead of chicken in this stir-fry, you can use extra-firm tofu,
boneless turkey, lean pork or beef cut across the grain. Vary the
vegetables, too, by adding snow peas, thinly sliced carrots or sliced
or whole small mushrooms. If adding bean sprouts, mix them in just
before serving.

Chicken is ideal
for weight loss
and dieting
Healthy eating is far better than strict dieting, and weight loss achieved by a change of lifestyle lasts far longer than 'faddy' diets that are difficult to adopt for long periods.
Cooking more low fat chicken can enable you to lose weight gradually as part of a a controlled and healthy diet.
