Last night I fell down the stairs and sprained my ankle and jarred my shoulder.  I'm fine, but I wasn't really interested in cooking anything complicated.  This meal totally fit the bill.  It took maybe 15-20 minutes and was really good. I saw this recipe on The Green Apple Home on Youtube.



Spicy Shredded Chicken over Rice
½ lb chicken, cubed and cooked than shredded
In a bowl mix:
                ½ Tbsp. water
                ½ Tbsp. soy sauce
                ¼ tsp. salt
                Dash pepper
                ¾ tbsp. cornstarch
Put shredded chicken in sauce mix and stir well.

Add to saucepan
                1 tsp. sesame oil
                1 tsp. chopped garlic
                Red pepper flakes to taste
When garlic is nice a fragrant, add chicken.
Add 2 yellow squash and 2 zucchini , cubed, to pan.  Add ½ cup nuts.

In a bowl mix:
                6 Tbsp. water
                5 Tbsp. soy sauce
                1 Tbsp. vinegar
                2 tsp. sugar
                2 tsp. cornstarch
Add to sauce pan and cook until veggies are done.  Serve over rice.

I didn't have squash or zucchini so I just subbed a package of broccoli.  She used peanuts, but I just subbed almonds.
