Stir-Fried Chicken with Celery
Makes 4 servings.


Ingredients:

1 tablespoon peanut oil
1 pound boneless chicken breasts cut into 3/4 inch cubes
2 ribs celery cut on the diagonal, about 11/2 inches long tip to tip (about 11/4 cups)
1 small onion, thinly sliced, about 3/4 cup
1 cup sliced shitake mushrooms
3/4 cup Chicken Stock or Vegetable Stock mixed with 2 teaspoons cornstarch
3/4 to 1 teaspoon dried thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste


Instructions:
1. Put oil in a wok over medium high heat. When it begins to smoke, add chicken and stir-fry about 2 to 3 minutes.

2. Add celery, onion, and mushrooms. Cook 2 to 3 minutes. Add chicken stock mixture, thyme, salt, and pepper, and cook until mixture thickens. Serve over rice.

Cooking Tip
This dish can easily be made an all-vegetarian affair by increasing the celery and onion to 2 cups and 1 cup respectively, and doubling the amount of mushrooms.
