SESAME SNAP PEA-CHICKEN SALAD
This simple salad features crisp-tender sugar snap peas, delicate shredded chicken and creamy sesame dressing. The cooking methods are important here: Blanching the peas, then shocking them in ice water ensures that they retain crunch and color, while gently poaching the boneless chicken breast and plunging it into an ice water bath means it stays moist. The tangy dressing, which is a nod to the highly addictive Japanese-style goma dressing, is made with earthy roasted sesame seeds and mayonnaise; it finds its way to the craggy edges of the shredded chicken. Try to shred the meat the same size as the sliced peas for the best texture. This salad is great to serve immediately, and even better after spending at least an hour in the refrigerator.

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, add the chicken and enough cold water to cover it by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. When the water begins to boil, lower heat immediately to a gentle simmer, cover partially with a lid and cook for 10 minutes. (Monitor that the bubbles never get too big; lower heat if so.) Turn off the heat, cover completely with lid, and leave on the stovetop for another 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the sugar snap peas: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. When it begins to boil, set a bowl of ice water next to the stovetop. Drop sugar snap peas into boiling water and cook until crisp-tender, 30 to 45 seconds. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the sugar snap peas to the ice water to cool completely. Drain well and pat dry on a clean dish towel in a single layer.
- Transfer sugar snap peas to a cutting board and trim the tips, if needed, then slice lengthwise into thirds on a slight diagonal. Transfer to a large bowl or lidded container, and refrigerate.
- Prepare the dressing: In a mortar and pestle, coarsely grind the sesame seeds, leaving some whole. In a small bowl, combine ground sesame seeds, mayonnaise, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir until smooth.
- Set a bowl of ice water next to the stovetop. Transfer the chicken to the ice water to cool completely. When chicken is cool enough to handle, pat dry, then finely shred the meat using your fingers. The shreds should be similar in size to the cut sugar snap peas.
- Add the shredded chicken and all of the dressing to the chilled snap peas; toss gently until coated. Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate for up to 1 day.

Steps:
- Mix all marinade ingredients in a bowl.
- Put the chicken in the marinade and let sit overnight in the refrigerator, or at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Put the squash halves, cut-side down, in a baking pan.
- Add ½ inch water and bake until squash are tender, 30-40 minutes.
- About 15 minutes before the squash is done, combine flour and sesame seeds.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and strain the marinade.
- Roll the chicken strips in the flour mixture.
- Melt the butter in a skillet and sauté the chicken for 4-5 minutes, until golden.
- Remove the chicken and set aside.
- Pour off excess butter and crumbs.
- Deglaze the skillet with ¼ Cup of the reserved marinade.
- Add the carrots, snow peas, and broccoli and cook just enough to heat the vegetables.
- Add the chicken strips and toss well.
- Serve the chicken and vegetables spilling over the squash halves.
Tips:
- Prep Everything: Before you start cooking, make sure all of your ingredients are prepped and measured out. This will help the cooking process go smoothly and quickly.
- Use a Wok or Large Skillet: A wok or large skillet is the best cookware for this recipe. It will allow you to easily stir-fry the chicken and vegetables.
- Get Your Sauce Ready: Make the sauce before you start cooking the chicken. This will give the flavors time to meld together.
- Cook the Chicken in Batches: Don't overcrowd the wok or skillet with chicken. Cook it in batches to ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Don't Overcook the Vegetables: Snow peas and other vegetables should be cooked just until they are tender-crisp. Overcooking will make them mushy.
- Serve Immediately: Sesame chicken is best served immediately after it is cooked. The flavors are at their best when the dish is hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
Sesame chicken with snow peas is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy weeknight meal. With its sweet and savory sauce, tender chicken, and crisp vegetables, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve it with rice or noodles for a complete meal.
