Ingredients:

1/4 tsp paprika
0.45g
4 chicken breasts
470g
1/4 cup chicken gravy
60g
1 cup asparagus
130g
1 cup broccoli
90g
1 tsp ginger
1.80g
2 cups mushrooms
140g
1 carrot
60g
1 egg
54g

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
- Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips.
- Cut asparagus into bite-sized pieces.
- Cut the broccoli into small florets.
- Thinly slice the carrot.
- Slice the mushrooms.
- Finely grate or mince the ginger.
- Beat the egg in a small bowl and set aside.
2. Marinade Chicken:
- In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken with 1/4 teaspoon of paprika. Mix well to coat evenly. (optional: marinate for 15-30 minutes for better flavor).
3. Cook the Chicken:
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of oil (about 1 tablespoon).
- Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook until the chicken turns white and is almost cooked through, around 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. Cook the Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed.
- Add the grated ginger and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the carrots, broccoli, and asparagus. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
- Add the mushrooms and continue to stir-fry for another 3 minutes until all vegetables are tender but still crisp.
5. Combine Ingredients:
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables.
- Pour in the 1/4 cup of chicken gravy, stirring well to coat all the ingredients. Let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes until everything is well heated and saucy.

6. Cook the Egg:
- Push the chicken and vegetables to one side of the skillet, creating a space on the other side. Add the beaten egg to this space.
- Allow the egg to set slightly, then scramble it gently. Once cooked, mix the egg into the stir-fry.
7. Final Touches:
- Give the stir-fry a final toss to ensure everything is mixed well.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed (you can add salt, pepper, or a dash more paprika for extra flavor).
8. Serve:
- Remove the skillet from the heat.
- Serve the paprika chicken stir-fry hot, either on its own or over a bed of rice or noodles.

Tips:

- Make sure to cut your vegetables into even-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.

- Use a high heat to quickly stir-fry the ingredients, keeping them crisp and flavorful.

- Marinate the chicken in a little bit of paprika and ginger beforehand to enhance the flavors.

- Pre-cook the broccoli and asparagus for a couple of minutes before adding them to the stir-fry to maintain their vibrant color and crunch.

- Crack the egg into a separate bowl before adding it to the pan to avoid any shell fragments.

This paprika chicken stir-fry is a delightful and nutritious meal that's easy to make and packed with flavor. Whether it's a busy weeknight or a relaxing weekend, you'll find this dish both satisfying and simple to prepare. Enjoy your meal!
