Clean Eating Chicken and Shrimp Stir Fry


I just recently became a fan of shrimp but I love how its low fat and full of protein!! This would be great to whip up quickly after work for a week night meal and the leftovers for lunch over brown rice or your favorite greens would be quick and easy too!

Ingredients:
*2 oz chicken breast cut into strips
*3 to 4 large shrimp, whole, cleaned, and tail removed
*1/4 cup water chestnuts
*sliced 2 tbsp slivered almonds
*2 tbsp green onions
*sliced 1 tbsp minced ginger root
*1 tbsp minced garlic
*2 tbsp lime juice
*2 tbsp orange juice
*1 tsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
*2 cups watercress remove bottom 2 in.
*1 cup spinach, cleaned leaves
*1/2 cup bean sprouts
*2 tsp sesame oil nonstick cooking spray

Preparation:
*Heat a nonstick skillet coated with nonstick cooking spray over medium heat.
*Add the green onions, garlic and ginger and saute for 1 minute. *Then add the shrimp and chicken and stir fry for about 3 to 4 minutes, until the chicken and shrimp are almost done.
*Then add the lime juice, orange juice, soy sauce, almonds, and water chestnuts and bring to a simmer.
*Cook for an additional 2 minutes or until chicken and shrimp are fully cooked.
*Remove mixture from pan, and add sesame oil to pan and heat over medium high heat; add the watercress, spinach, and bean sprouts and saute for 4 to 5 minutes.
*Serve the stir-fr over the Asian greens.
I didn't actually get watercress and instead I served my Stirfry over brown rice!
Eat & Enjoy!
