Saucy Coconut-Chicken Stir-Fry
WebMD Recipe from EatingWell.com
Thai flavors of coconut and basil come together in this fresh and spicy chicken
and cabbage stir-fry. If your family prefers a milder meal, forgo the jalapeño.

Servings: 4
Yield: 4 servings, about 1 1/2 cups each
Total Time: 35
Prep Time: 35
Recipe Ingredients:
1. 4 teaspoons canola oil, divided
2. 1 pound chicken tenders, cut into bite-size pieces
3. 1 jalapeño pepper, minced (optional)
4. 1 bunch scallions, sliced, whites and greens, separated
5. 2 cups sliced shiitake mushroom caps
6. 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
7. 3/4 cup "lite" coconut milk
8. 2 tablespoons fish sauce
9. 4 teaspoons lime juice
10. 1 tablespoon brown sugar
11. 6 cups sliced napa cabbage
12. 3/4 cup chopped fresh basil
Recipe Steps:
1. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a wok or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add
chicken and cook, stirring often, until cooked through and lightly browned,
about 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
2. Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil in the wok or pot. Add jalapeño (if
