3 tablespoons Fresh lime juice

1 teaspoon Garlic; minced
1 teaspoon Jalapeno chili; minced
½ teaspoon Lime peel; grated

Directions

Combine the lime juice, soy sauce, garlic, jalapeno, lime peel, and ginger in a large glass bowl. Add the chicken, then cornstarch and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.

Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the same skillet. Add chicken.

Stir-fry until opaque and firm to the touch, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Return vegetables to skillet; cook, stirring, until heated through, for 30 seconds more. Makes 4 servings.
