Make

  1. Heat a wok over medium-high heat. Add first part of cooking oil and then chicken to heated oil. Saute until chicken is golden brown on the outside (it will finish cooking in the sauce). Set chicken aside and return wok to heat.
  2. Add second part of cooking oil to wok and then bell peppers, shallots and broccoli. Saute until vegetables are tender, 6 to 7 minutes.
  3. Whisk together second part of water (portion for the sauce) and arrowroot powder.
  4. Pour stir-fry sauce and arrowroot powder mixture over vegetables. Add chicken back to pan and give it a stir. Simmer until chicken is cooked through and sauce has reduced slightly.
  5. Divide stir-fry between bowls. Enjoy with smoothie on the side.
