CHICKEN WITH SUGAR SNAP PEAS & SPRING HERBS
Quick-cooking chicken cutlets are paired with an elegant but easy light sauce. This dish can be made without the sprouted beans, but is especially delicious with them. Make it a meal: serve over pan-seared rounds of prepared, store-bought polenta and open a bottle of sauvignon blanc. Description and recipe from Eating Well magazine

Steps:
- Note: Sprouted beans, not to be confused with bean sprouts, are beans that have just barely sprouted-they look like a bean with a tiny fiber attached (rather than the more fleshy-looking sprouts commonly used in Asian cooking).
- Whisk broth, mustard, salt, pepper and 2 teaspoons flour in a small bowl until smooth.
- Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with the remaining 1 tablespoon flour.
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken in two batches, adjusting heat as necessary to prevent burning, until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate; tent with foil to keep warm.
- Increase heat to high; stir the broth mixture and add to the skillet along with snap peas, artichoke hearts and sprouted beans.
- Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook until the snap peas are tender-crisp, about 3 minutes.
- Return the chicken to the pan, nestling it into the vegetables, and simmer until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in herbs and vinegar.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh sugar snap peas, herbs, and chicken will give your dish the best flavor.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken should be cooked until it is just cooked through, or it will become dry and tough.
- Season the chicken well: Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder before cooking to give it flavor.
- Add the vegetables at the end of cooking: This will help them retain their鮮豔色彩 and crisp texture.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked, while the chicken is still hot and the vegetables are still crisp.
