Kung Pao Chicken Without Peanuts image

This is an adaptation of the traditional kung pao chicken recipe. It's not quite as spicy, but still has a little kick. It's great for picky eaters or those with nut allergies. Serve with steamed white rice or egg noodles.

½ cup soy sauce
½ cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
4 chicken breast halves, cubed
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 bunch green onions
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 teaspoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • Combine soy sauce, lemon juice, ginger, and garlic in a large glass bowl. Add cubed chicken, cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
