Polynesian Chicken
1 whole boneless skinless chicken breast, sliced on the diagonal
1 clove minced garlic
1 1/2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
2 teaspoons tamari
1 onion, sliced
2 carrots, sliced on diagonal
1 cup snow peas
1 red pepper, slivered
1 teaspoon canola oil
1 cup coconut milk
1/4 teaspoon chili pepper
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon arrowroot powder

Directions:
Mix garlic, arrowroot powder & tamari. Add a little water to make thin sauce to marinate chicken for about 30 minutes.

Stir fry veggies in 1 teaspoon oil. Remove & stir fry chicken in remaining oil. Return veggies to wok with chicken.

Mix coconut milk & seasonings. Pour mixture over chicken & stir until thickened.

My notes:
I used the following:
~2 1/2 chicken breasts cubed instead of sliced
~1 tablespoon of garlic, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce (instead of tamari) & used cornstarch (instead of arrowroot powder) in marinade
~1 cup of Trader Joe's Melange a Trois (frozen pepper mix) with veggies
~1-13.5oz can of coconut milk & doubled the spice quantities
~Added salt & pepper
~Considered adding a touch of sesame oil...
~Served over jasmine rice
