Food Safety

Before you start, wash all surfaces and your hands with soap and warm water, and remember to wash your hands, utensils and cutting boards after they touch raw meat or eggs. Avoid cross-contamination by using a different cutting board for your meat and other ingredients. Make sure you’re cooking to safe temperatures and chilling any leftovers within two hours.

Steps

  1. Place chicken in a medium bowl; sprinkle with lemon peel, lemon juice, salt and pepper, stirring to coat well.

  2. In another bowl, place prunes; add chicken broth and let sit about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. Spray a large frying pan with vegetable cooking spray and place over medium-high heat.

  4. Add chicken and cook, stirring, about 4 minutes.

  5. Add carrots, then leek; cook about 1 minute more. Add sugar snap peas and butter and continue to stir-fry until chicken is thoroughly cooked and peas are tender crisp, about 3 minutes. Stir in prunes and broth, separating pieces of prunes.

  6. Cook about 1 minute more or until hot through.

  7. Serve with saffron rice, if desired.
