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.

SASSY CHICKEN WRAPS W/CILANTRO PESTO



Sassy Chicken Wraps W/Cilantro Pesto image

My biggest challenge with these wraps is not eating all the cilantro pesto with chips before I can get them rolled up. Perhaps you will be more disciplined. If not, make a double batch of the pesto so you can snack without consequences. These a great healthy lunch, and are also pretty cut into slices and served as an appetizer.

Time 40m

Yield 6-10 wraps

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 cups fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 cup pine nuts
3 tablespoons Cotija cheese (Feta or grated Parmesan will substitute)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup olive oil (more if desired)
1/4 cup sun-dried tomato
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 garlic clove
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 -10 whole wheat tortillas
1 red bell pepper
1 zucchini
1 lb cooked chicken breast, sliced

Steps:

  • Place the sun-dried tomatoes in a bowl and pour boiling water over them to cover.
  • Set them aside to steep.
  • Make the cilantro pesto: place cilantro leaves, pine nuts, Cojita cheese, cumin, garlic, lime juice,& salt into a food processor, and pulse until mixture is a paste-like consistency.
  • Scrape down the sides of the processor bowl, and with the processor on, add the olive oil in a continuous stream.
  • After 1/4 c., check the consistency of the pesto. If it is spreadable, but not watery, stop. If it is still too chunky to spread, add a little more oil. But you do not want a runny consistency.
  • Place pesto in a bowl, set aside.
  • For the Sassy Tomato Vinagrette: Drain the tomatoes and dice (or cut into small pieces with kitchen shears).
  • Peel the garlic clove, and using the back of a knife, crush it with the salt until the mixture makes a paste.
  • Put tomatoes, garlic paste, tomato sauce, cayenne pepper, vinegar& brown sugar into the food processor and whirl until well-combined.
  • Drizzle in the olive oil while the food processor is running.
  • Set aside.
  • Core and seed the red pepper, and slice it and the zucchini into strips.
  • To make the wraps: Spread a layer of cilantro pesto (about 1 1/2 tablespoons per wrap) onto the each tortilla-- stopping about 1/2-inch from the edge.
  • Next, put down a slice of the chicken, and spread the top of the chicken with the Sassy Tomato Vinagrette.
  • Add a layer of zucchini & pepper slices.
  • Roll up into wraps.
