Firecracker Chicken Stir-fry

This is a really quick and tasty dinner! Don't be turned off by the name. You make it as much of a "firecracker" as you want based on the crushed red pepper flakes. This recipe was taken from a Kraft Foods & Family magazine.

Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into strips
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
1 cup of snow peas or sugar-snap peas
1 cup prepared broccoli (optional)
1/3 cup Light Asian Toasted Sesame Dressing
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
2 cups hot, prepared white rice

Directions

-Heat oil in a nonstick skillet on med-high heat
-Add chicken and garlic to pat and cook for about 5 min, until chicken is evenly browned
-Add veggies to the pan and cook 3-4 minutes, until peppers are crisp and tender and the chicken is done
-Add water chestnuts, dressing and flakes. Cook about 2 minutes until everything is heated through.
-Serve over white rice
