Directions
1 Rinse chicken breasts and pat dry with paper towels. Cut crosswise into 1/2 inch wide strips.
2 In a large bowl, combine ground coriander, ground ginger, paprika, pepper, cayenne pepper, and grated lime zest.
3 Add chicken strips and toss to evenly coat. Set aside for 15 minutes.
4 In a wok or heavy nonstick skillet, heat 1/2 tablespoon of the oil. When hot, add onion, garlic, scallions, bell pepper, and minced ginger. Stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer vegetables to a small bowl.
5 Add remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil to the wok and place over medium high heat. Toss in seasoned chicken breast strips and stir fry for 2 to 3 minutes.
6 Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together sauce ingredients.
7 Return vegetables to the wok and stir in the sauce. Continue stir frying for another minute or two until all ingredients are hot and sauce has thickened.
8 Shred the mint leaves and stir into wok. Serve at once.
