Serves 4

Ingredients 2 cup(s)

  • ⅓ cup(s) Fat free chicken broth
  • ⅓ cup(s), #1 Fine uncooked bulgur wheat
  • ¾ pound(s), Uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast(s) cut into ¼-inch-thick bite-size slices
  • 1 Tbsp Minced garlic
  • 1 Tbsp Low sodium soy sauce
  • 1½ tsp Cornstarch
  • 5 tsp, Peanut oil or vegetable oil, divided
  • 1 tsp Chili powder
  • 2 cup(s), Uncooked broccoli cut into small bite-size pieces
  • 1 cup(s), Uncooked bell pepper(s) red, cut into 1/2-inch dice
  • ¾ tsp Table salt
  • ¼ cup(s) Fat free chicken broth
  • 3 Tbsp Grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tsp, Lime zest (zest of 1 lime)
  • 1 Fresh lime(s) cut into 4 wedges

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, bring 1/3 cup broth and 1 Tbsp cold water to a boil over high heat. Stir in bulgur, return to a boil, cover, and remove from heat. Set aside for 30 minutes.
  2. In a medium bowl combine chicken, garlic, soy sauce and cornstarch, and stir until cornstarch is no longer visible. Stir in 1 tsp of oil.
  3. Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within 1 to 2 seconds of contact. Swirl in 1 Tbsp of oil. Add chicken and spread evenly in one layer in wok. Cook undisturbed 1 minute, letting chicken begin to sear. Sprinkle on chili powder and stir-fry 1 minute until chicken is no longer pink but not cooked through. Swirl in remaining 1 tsp oil, add broccoli, bell pepper and salt and stir-fry until just combined, about 15 seconds. Swirl in remaining 1/4 cup broth and stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes or until chicken is just cooked through and vegetables are tender crisp. Remove from heat, add bulgur, parmesan and lime zest and stir to just combine. Serve with a wedge of lime. Yields 1 cup per serving.
