- 3 Tablespoons Oil (canola or peanut)
- 2 Chicken Breasts (cubed in 1" pieces)
- Salt and Pepper (to taste)
- 1 Cup Crimini Mushrooms
- 1 Bundle Broccolini Florets (stalks removed, or broccoli florets)
- 1 Cup Matchstick Carrots
- 1 Cup Red Bell Peppers (chopped )
- 2 Baby Bok Choy (end removed and quartered lengthwise)
- 2 Green Onions (minced for garnish)
- 1 Tablespoon Sesame Seeds (for garnish)
- 1/2 Cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce or Tamari
- 1/4 Cup Vegetable or Chicken Stock ((We prefer to use Better Than Bouillon Chicken Base))

- 1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
- 1/4 Teaspoon Ground Ginger
- 1 Teaspoon Garlic (minced, about 1 clove)
- 2 Tablespoons Cornstarch
Directions
- 1
Heat a season cast iron skillet over high heat. We prefer cast iron for the great flavor it lends to meals unlike nonstick which doesn't allow the juices to caramelize at the bottom of the pan.

Add the remaining oil to the pan and add the broccolini, carrots and peppers.

Meanwhile, run the precooked noodles through hot water to separate the noodles.

Drain and set aside.

As soon as the veggies are tender, add the chicken and noodles to the pan and pour in the sauce, toss for a minute or two and serve hot with a garnish of green onions and sesame seeds.
