Wonderful Pistachios Mandarin Chicken and Veggie Stir-Fry

This dish is extra-flavorful, filling, and a great use for leftover veggies. The unique stir-fry sauce is made creamy with beans instead of cornstarch, and the hint of sweetness is provided by citrus juice instead of honey or other added sugars. The pistachios are a highlight as they provide distinctive color, crunch, and crave-worthiness.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup Wonderful Pistachios No Shells Lightly Salted
  • ⅓ cup fresh-squeezed juice from a Wonderful Halos mandarin (or orange juice)
  • ⅔ cup canned no-salt-added cannellini beans, drained
  • 2½ tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger root
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or grapeseed oil
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 12 oz. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced crosswise
  • 2 large red bell peppers, sliced
  • 2 cups sliced or chopped non-starchy vegetables, such as zucchini or broccoli
  • 3 scallions, thinly sliced, green and white parts separated

Instructions

  1. Add the beans, mandarin juice, soy sauce, vinegar, and ginger to a blender. Cover and puree. Set aside.
  2. Heat the oils in a stick-resistant wok or large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and stir-fry until it begins to lightly brown, about 2½ to 3 minutes. Add the bell peppers, veggies, and white part of the scallions; increase heat to high, and stir-fry until the peppers and veggies are crisp-tender and chicken is well done, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  3. Add the bean sauce, green part of the scallions, and Wonderful Pistachios and cook while stirring until heated through and evenly combined, about 1 minute.
  4. Enjoy with a side of brown rice or buckwheat soba noodles and, if desired, hot sauce of choice.
