Chicken Stir Fry - Click For Larger Picture

I wanted something with a decent amount of chopping to try out my new knife last night and I had a bottle of Schezwan Stir Fry sauce in the cabinet that I wanted to use. So I picked up a head of broccoli, an onion, carrots, a chicken, a can of water chestnuts, and a can on baby corn. I broke down the chicken like they showed us how in the class the night before. That was pretty easy and don’t think I’ll be buying chicken precut that much anymore. I kept the breasts to use in the stir fry and the legs and thighs for tomorrow night. I julienned the carrots and onions. Then I cut the broccoli up into florets. I heated a skillet to med-high and added some canola oil and a little chili oil. I browned the chicken and then set that aside. Next I browned the onions and set them aside. Then I tossed the broccoli around for a few minutes and set them aside. Last I added the carrots, baby corn and water chestnuts. While that was cooking I heated a larger skillet. Once they were done I tossed everything into the larger skillet and added the Schezwan Stir Fry sauce and some chicken stock since I wanted it more saucy. I let that all cook for a few minutes and then served it over some basmati rice I cooked in my rice cooker. It came out pretty good and had a really nice kick from the Schezwan sauce and chili oil.
