Categories: Polkadot, Lisa, Herb/spice, Chicken
Yield: 2 Servings

Nonstick cooking spray
1/2 ts Minced garlic
1/2 ts Minced ginger
1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken
-breast in bite-sized chunks
2 ts Corn starch, dissolved in
2 tb Water

-----------------------------------SAUCE-----------------------------------
1 c Water
1 Celestial Seasonings Bengal
-Spice tea bag
2 tb Soy sauce
1 tb Sugar

Prepare the sauce: Put tea bag in water & microwave for 2 minutes. Remove
tea bag & discard. Add the rest of the sauce ingredients to the tea and
mix well.

Coat large skillet with cooking spray. Cook garlic & ginger for about 30
seconds. Add chicken and stir fry until opaque. Add sauce, bring to a
boil, lower heat, and simmer for another 10 minutes. Add corn starch
dissolved in water, and cook over high heat, until sauce has thickened.

Serve over rice.

Notes: Bengal Spice herb tea contains cinnamon, roasted carob, ginger
root, roasted chicory root, dates, cardamom, black pepper, nutmeg, cloves,
and quinoa. As a tea, it sounds perfectly awful, but it adds a delicious
flavor to the chicken!
