SZECHUAN CHICKEN STIR-FRY



Szechuan Chicken Stir-Fry image

A great stir-fry is all about timing. The trick is to have all the ingredients prepped and ready to go before you start to cook so that every element can go in at exactly the right moment. Cooking in stages also allows the vegetables to get that irresistible seared-yet-crisp-and-tender quality. Sambal oelek is available in the international aisle of most supermarkets and is worth keeping on hand for adding a last-minute kick to many dishes. You could also substitute a generous pinch of crushed red pepper.

STIR-FRIED CHICKEN WITH PEANUTS



Stir-Fried Chicken with Peanuts image

Serve this home-style version of kung pao chicken and peanuts with a side of steamed white rice. If you're feeding a large crowd, stir-fry an additional batch instead of making one large serving at once; overcrowding the pan won't allow the ingredients to cook properly.From the book "Mad Hungry," by Lucinda Scala Quinn (Artisan Books).

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/3 cup soy sauce

2 whole scallions, thinly sliced
4 whole dried Chinese red peppers
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon cornstarch

  • Heat a wok or skillet over high heat until very hot. Add the oil. Lightly fry the peanuts for about 1 minute and remove. Add the scallions, red peppers, and garlic. Stir-fry for about 20 seconds.
  • Just before adding to the pan, coat the chicken in the cornstarch. Fry until the chicken is just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes (depending on the pan and the heat). Return the peanuts to the pan and mix thoroughly to combine with the chicken. Serve immediately with white rice.

SZECHUAN CHICKEN WITH PEANUTS 6 WW PTS



Szechuan Chicken With Peanuts 6 Ww Pts image

I've made this several times and we really enjoy it. I believe it came from a Weight Watchers cookbook, but I can't quite remember. It has 6 WW points, if you are following that program. Even if you're not, it's great, and I think even better than what you'd get in a restaurant. My husband, who is definitely anti-diet food anything, really likes it.

SZECHUAN CHICKEN AND NOODLES



Szechuan Chicken and Noodles image

Delicious chicken, broccoli and linguine tossed in a teriyaki sauce.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (13.25 ounce) package linguine noodles
2 Tablespoons butter
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-size pieces)
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 yellow onion (diced)
2 green bell peppers (diced)
1 3/4 cups teriyaki sauce
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon paprika
2 cups broccoli florets (steamed)

Steps:

  • Cook the linguine noodles according to the directions on the package.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add the chicken and cook until chicken turns white and is no longer pink on the inside (takes about 8-10 minutes).
  • Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add the onion and bell pepper and saute until soft (about 8 minutes).
  • Once the vegetables are done, add the cooked chicken back to the skillet.
  • Add in the sauce, minced garlic and paprika. Stir well. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook for 5-8 more minutes, or until marinade is thoroughly heated and slightly thickened.
  • Fold in steamed broccoli.
  • When linguine is done cooking drain the water and then add noodles into the chicken/sauce mixture.
  • Stir to combine and serve.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: As with any stir-fry, it's important to have all your ingredients prepped and ready to go before you start cooking.
  • Use a hot wok or large skillet: This will help to ensure that the chicken and vegetables cook quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the wok or skillet: If you do, the ingredients will not cook evenly.
  • Stir-fry in batches if necessary: If you have a lot of ingredients, you may need to stir-fry them in batches.
  • Use a high-quality oil for stir-frying: A good option is peanut oil, which has a high smoke point and a neutral flavor.
  • Season the chicken well: This will help to give the dish flavor.
  • Add the vegetables in order of their cooking time: This will help to ensure that they are all cooked evenly.
  • Stir-fry the chicken and vegetables until they are just cooked through: Overcooking will make them tough.
  • Add the sauce and peanuts at the end of cooking: This will help to prevent the sauce from burning.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

This Szechuan-style stir-fry chicken with peanuts is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. The combination of tender chicken, crisp vegetables, and flavorful sauce is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a weeknight dinner that is both tasty and nutritious, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
