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.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

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.

CHICKEN WITH SWEET AND HOT RED PEPPERS



Chicken with Sweet and Hot Red Peppers image

Categories     Chicken     Onion     Broil     Sauté     Quick & Easy     Bell Pepper     White Wine     Gourmet

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 small chicken thighs with skin and bones (2 1/2 lb)
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 red bell peppers, cut lengthwise into 1/3-inch-wide strips
1 onion, sliced
2 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
1/4 cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • Pat chicken dry and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Heat oil in an ovenproof 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until just beginning to smoke, then cook chicken, skin sides down, until browned, about 5 minutes. Turn chicken over and cook 2 minutes more, then transfer to a plate.
  • Pour off all but 2 tablespoons fat from skillet and cook bell peppers, onion, garlic, red pepper flakes (to taste), and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, about 10 minutes. Add wine and boil 1 minute. Nestle chicken, skin sides up, into pepper mixture and cook, covered, over moderate heat until cooked through, about 15 minutes.
  • Turn on broiler. Remove lid from skillet and broil chicken 4 to 6 inches from heat until skin is crisp, about 1 1/2 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of bell peppers. Different colors of bell peppers will give your dish a more vibrant look and flavor. Plus, each color has slightly different nutritional benefits.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too much chicken or vegetables to the pan at once, they will not cook evenly. Cook the chicken and vegetables in batches if necessary.
  • Season the chicken well. Chicken can be bland on its own, so be sure to season it well with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also use a marinade to add flavor to the chicken.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit before you remove it from the heat. You can use a meat thermometer to check the temperature.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. Savory chicken with peppers is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular options include rice, pasta, potatoes, and vegetables.

Conclusion:

Savory chicken with peppers is a quick and easy dish that is sure to please the whole family. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken and vegetables, and it is also a healthy and affordable meal. So next time you are looking for a simple and delicious dinner, give this recipe a try.
