Toss to coat. Let stand for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. In a Dutch oven, combine the onions, zucchini or squash, carrots, and oil. Cook, stirring, over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, or until the onions are soft but not browned. Add the stock; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes. Add the chicken and marinade. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center. Check by inserting the tip of a sharp knife into 1 cube. Add the tofu, cilantro, and scallions. Cook for 1 minute, or until the tofu is hot. Add the lime juice. Stir well to combine.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>8 ounces frozen skinned and boned chicken breasts, cut into 1&#8243; cubes 1 T. reduced-sodium soy sauce 1\/2 tsp. sugar 1\/2 tsp. ground black pepper 1 C. frozen chopped onions 1 C. frozen sliced zucchini or yellow summer squash 1\/2 C. frozen sliced carrots 1 tsp. dark sesame oil 6 C. frozen defatted chicken stock , thawed 8 ounces reduced-fat firm tofu, cut into 1\/2&#8243; cubes 1\/2 C. minced fresh cilantro 1\/3 C. chopped scallions 1 tsp. lime juice In&#8230;<\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more\"><a class=\"btn btn-default\" href=\"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/?p=4763\"> Read More<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">  Read More<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4763","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-soups-stews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4763","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4763"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4763\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":39455,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4763\/revisions\/39455"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4763"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4763"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4763"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
