Lemon Garlic Chicken and Shrimp Stir Fry

Yummmmmy! Tonight's dinner is one of my absolute favorites! And at only 225 calories a dish, it's pretty good for you too! The recipe is for chicken only, but I added some shrimp since I had some and it sounded good! You can also use the chow mein noodles or brown rice - which ever you prefer. We normally eat SO much rice that I chose noodles to make instead. This recipe did require a lot of prep time --cutting the carrots, mushrooms and scallions. My mom made this recipe last week and I called her while she was making it and she said it was taking her forever to cut everything up, so don't say you weren't wanred! It is worth it though because it is very tasty!
Ingredients:
1 lemon
1/2 cup reduced sodium chicken broth
3 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons cornstarch (I didn't have any so I used a little bit of flour - just to thicken it some)
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed and cut into 1 inch cubes
10 ounces mushrooms, halved (I nixed these since Jason doesn't like them)
1 cup diagonally cut sliced carrots (1/4 inches thick)
2 cups snow peas, stems and strings removed
1 bunch scallions, white and green parts divided
1 tablespoon chopped garlic (I used minced from a jar and about 4 times as much! We LOVE garlic!)

Directions:
1. Grate 1 teaspoon of lemon zest and set aside. Juice lemon and whisk 3 tablespoons of the zest with broth, soy sauce and cornstarch i na small bowl.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until just cooked through (4-5 minutes). Transfer to a plate. Add mushrooms and carrots to the pan and cook until carrots are tender (5 minutes). Add snow peas, scallion whites, garlic, and the reserved lemon zest. cook, stirring, until fragrant (30 seconds). Whisk the broth mixture and add to pan; cook, stirring until thickened (2-3 minutes). Add scallion greens and te chicken and shrimp and any accumulated juices. Cook until heated through (2-3 minutes).
3. Pour over rice or noodles.
