Instructions
- Prep 1 lb Simple Truth® Natural Boneless Skinless Fresh Chicken Breast Family Pack BIG DEAL! ($5.49/lb) by slicing it thinly. Thinly slice 1/2 lb Green Cabbage (about half a small head, from $0.59/lb), trim and cut 1/2 lb Green Asparagus into 2-inch pieces (from $1.99/lb), slice 4 oz Kroger® Whole Baby Bella Mushrooms ($3.69/8 oz) if not already sliced, chop 1/2 lb Bok Choy (from $2.49/lb), thinly slice 1/2 lb Jumbo Yellow Onion (from $1.49/lb), mince 3 cloves Garlic (from 1 bulb at $1.50 each), and grate 1 tablespoon Ginger Root (from $4.99/lb).
- In a small bowl, stir together 1/2 cup Simple Truth Organic® Fat Free Free Range Chicken Broth ($1.79/32 oz) with 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sugar or honey, and 1 teaspoon cornstarch if you have it in the pantry for a glossier sauce.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the sliced 1 lb chicken breast and cook 4 to 5 minutes, stirring often, until lightly browned and just cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
- Add another small drizzle of oil to the same skillet. Cook the 1/2 lb sliced Jumbo Yellow Onion, 3 minced Garlic cloves, and 1 tablespoon grated Ginger Root for 1 minute.
- Add the 1/2 lb Green Cabbage and 1/2 lb Green Asparagus. Stir-fry 3 minutes until the cabbage starts to soften and the asparagus turns bright green.
- Add the 4 oz sliced Baby Bella Mushrooms and 1/2 lb chopped Bok Choy. Stir-fry 2 to 3 minutes more until the mushrooms soften and the bok choy wilts slightly but still looks fresh.
- Return the cooked 1 lb chicken to the pan. Pour in the broth mixture and toss for 1 to 2 minutes until everything is glossy and lightly sauced. Taste and add black pepper or a squeeze of lemon if you like.
- Serve as is for a lighter dinner, or spoon over cooked rice if you have pantry rice on hand.

Health notes: About 450-520 calories per serving. High in protein, rich in vitamin C and K from cabbage, asparagus, and bok choy, with plenty of fiber from the vegetables. Keep sodium moderate by seasoning lightly if using broth and pantry soy sauce.
Drink pairing: A dry Riesling or Sauvignon Blanc works beautifully here. Riesling highlights the ginger and sweet cabbage notes, while Sauvignon Blanc matches the green, fresh snap of asparagus and bok choy.
