Ingredients

* 2 teaspoons ground coriander
* 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger plus ¼ cup julienned fresh ginger
* 4 teaspoons grapeseed oil or other high flash point oil such as canola oil

* 1/2 teaspoond kosher salt
* 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
* 4 large scallions (or 6 small), trimmed
* 1/2 cup mango chutney, large pieces chopped
* 1/4 cup chicken broth
* 1 teaspoon minced garlic
* 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted

Method

1 Slice chicken crosswise into ½-inch-thick pieces. Toss with ground coriander, grated ginger, 2 teaspoons oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Marinate at room temperature 15 minutes.

2 Thinly slice white parts of scallions. Julienne green parts; set aside.

3 Stir together chutney, broth, and garlic in a small bowl.

4 Heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet (or wok) over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites and julienned ginger; stir-fry 30 seconds. Add chicken and stir-fry until thoroughly cooked, 4 to 6 minutes. Add scallion greens and chutney mixture; cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Transfer to shallow bowls with hot cooked rice (or without rice, for low-carb version). Sprinkle with toasted almond slices and serve.

Serves 4-6.
