This is a very good chicken dish, not spicy.  I cooked the chicken in a slow cooker with 2 cups of chicken broth, but you can stir fry the chicken.

• Heat 1 Tablespoon olive oil in wok or skillet.
• Stir fry 1 lb chicken or turkey breast for 2 – 4 minutes until brown – then ADD:
• 2 medium carrots thinly sliced or baby carrots
• 1 medium onion, sliced
• 1 medium sweet pepper, cut in strips (or any combination of peppers)
• 1/4 cup minced gingerroot
• cook until vegetables are tender and chicken cooked

Combine and wisk together:

• 2 cups milk (I used canned fat free milk)
• 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 Tablespoon sugar (or splenda)
• 1/4 tsp. coconut extract (found in baking section of grocery stores)
• 1/4 tsp. hot pepper sauce (i.e. Tabasco sauce)
• grated rind of 1 lemon
• 2 Tablespoons cornstarch

Stir milk mixture into chicken (add 2 cups snow peas and water chestnuts – optional).  Stir and cook until thickened.  Season with salt and hot pepper sauce to taste.  This is a whole meal dish, but can be served with noodles or rice.  Top with fresh bean sprouts.
