This tangy, sweet, and savory recipe is excellent for either a stir fry sauce or a lovely salad dressing. This was thrown together in an effort to use blueberries that had failed to make it into dessert...and thus this tasty dish is born!

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon chopped garlic

  • ½ cup fresh blueberries

  • ½ cup peach preserves

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard

  • cup rice wine vinegar

  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

  • ¼ cup olive oil

  • 2 (4 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into bite size pieces

  • 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms

  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger

  • 1 pinch garlic salt, or to taste

  • ground black pepper to taste

  • cup chopped green onions

  • 4 cups frozen mixed vegetables

  • 4 cups cooked brown rice

  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

Directions

  1. Place garlic, blueberries, peach preserves, sesame oil, mustard, vinegar, sugar, and soy sauce in a blender; cover and blend until smooth.

  2. Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat; cook and stir chicken and mushrooms until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 7 minutes. Stir in ginger, garlic salt, and black pepper; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  3. Toss green onions and mixed vegetables with chicken; pour blueberry sauce over vegetable mixture. Continue cooking on medium-high heat until sauce comes to a boil, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low and cook until vegetables are tender, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and allow sauce to cool for 3 minutes. Serve over brown rice and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Cook's Note:

For a pretty presentation, serve with orange slices!
