Provided by April Boller Wright

Categories     Dinner     Lunch

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into cubes
3 tbsp cornstarch
1/4 cup vegetable oil (plus 2 tbsp or more as needed)
2 bell peppers (sliced )
1 cup steamed green beans in a bag (See notes below )
1/2 tbsp garlic cloves minced
1/4 tsp ginger ( (optional))
1 tsp garlic powder ((add more for taste) )
1 tsp crushed red pepper
1/8 tsp sesame oil
1 1/4 cup sweet chili Sauce

Steps:

  • In a large bowl add the diced chicken and a tablespoon of oil. Add the garlic powder and 1/2 tsp salt and pepper and rub it into the chicken. Add cornstarch. Mix until all pieces of chicken is coated in the cornstarch.
  • In a large skillet or wok over medium high heat, add 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil until glistening. Working in small batches, add the chicken. Do not overcrowd the pan. You'll have to turn often so the chicken can cook evenly. If the pan seems dry, add more oil as needed. Once the chicken is done, put it to the side and cook the second batch until crispy or until your desired texture. Add the bell peppers and saute until soft or your until you get your desired tenderness. Next, add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Add the chicken, green beans, sweet chili sauce, sesame oil, ginger and crushed red peppers to the skillet. Stir until combined and the chicken and green beans are coated in the chili sauce. Serve immediately over rice.

CHICKEN STIR-FRY WITH MIXED PEPPERS



Chicken Stir-Fry With Mixed Peppers image

I used green peppers only for this stir-fry. Try to use a mix of hot and sweet peppers, and feel free to use red, yellow or orange ones if you want to introduce some color. The chicken is "velveted" before stir-frying; a good name for this technique as the texture of the chicken remains velvety and moist after stir-frying.

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, main course

Time 15m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut across the grain in 1/4-inch thick slices
1 tablespoon egg white, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoons plus 1 tablespoon rice wine or dry sherry
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons peanut oil, rice bran oil or canola oil
1 tablespoon minced ginger
2 fat garlic cloves, minced
1 pound green peppers, with at least one of them a hot pepper such as an Anaheim
1/4 cup cashew pieces

Steps:

  • In a large bowl stir together the egg white, cornstarch, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the rice wine or sherry, salt to taste and 1 1/2 teaspoons water. When you can no longer see any cornstarch add the chicken and stir together until coated. Cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Combine the remaining rice wine or sherry, the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and sugar in a small bowl and set it near your wok.
  • Fill a medium-size saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil and turn the heat down so that the water is at a bare simmer. Carefully add the chicken to the water, stirring so that the pieces don't clump. Cook until the chicken turns opaque on the surface but is not cooked through, about 1 minute. Drain in a colander set over a bowl.
  • Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch steel skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Add the remaining oil by pouring it down the sides of the pan and swirling the pan, then add the garlic, ginger and chile and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds. Add the peppers and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the chicken, cashews and hoisin sauce mixture and salt to taste. Stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through, and serve with grains or noodles.

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables and herbs will give your stir-fry the best flavor.
  • Choose the right cooking oil: A high-heat oil like grapeseed or avocado oil is best for stir-frying.
  • Heat your wok or pan over high heat: This will help create a nice sear on the chicken and vegetables.
  • Don't overcrowd the wok or pan: If you add too much food at once, it will steam instead of fry.
  • Stir-fry in batches if necessary: If you have a lot of ingredients, you may need to stir-fry them in batches.
  • Add the sauce at the end: This will help prevent the sauce from burning.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best served hot and fresh.
