Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon soy sauce, plus more for serving
3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar
3 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 1/2 cups cooked white rice or quinoa, for serving
Toasted sesame seeds, for topping

Return the chicken to the skillet and cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and vegetables, 1 to 2 minutes.

SESAME CHICKEN WITH SNOW PEAS



Sesame Chicken with Snow Peas image

Skip the take-out and make your own version of this popular sweet-and-savory Chinese-American dish. We've lightened our version up by giving the chicken a quick marinade in soy and honey instead of coating and deep-frying it as most restaurants do. Steamed snow peas and brown rice round out the meal.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

5 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
4 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
2 teaspoons honey
1 1/4 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 3/4-inch chunks
6 teaspoons canola oil
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon grated peeled ginger
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3 tablespoons sugar
3 to 4 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon chili paste
4 cups snow peas, trimmed
Cooked brown rice, for serving (optional)
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Whisk 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 teaspoons sesame oil and the honey together in a medium bowl. Add the chicken, toss and marinate 20 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade using a slotted spoon. Heat 2 teaspoons canola oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken in 2 batches, turning once or twice, until browned, 3 to 5 minutes (add 2 more teaspoons canola oil between batches). Transfer the chicken to a plate and wipe out the skillet.
  • Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons canola oil in the skillet. Add the scallions, reserving some of the green parts for topping. Add the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Whisk the broth, sugar, cornstarch, vinegar, chili paste and the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce in a bowl; add to the skillet and cook, stirring, until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 teaspoons sesame oil.
  • Meanwhile, cook the snow peas in a steamer basket set over a few inches of boiling water until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet with the sauce and heat through. Serve the chicken and snow peas over brown rice, if desired. Top with the sesame seeds and reserved scallion greens.

SESAME CHICKEN WITH GINGER AND SNOW PEAS



Sesame Chicken With Ginger and Snow Peas image

This recipe was in our local newspaper. Looked delicious and fairly low carb. Wanted to post it for safe keeping. This did not have a cooking time. I estimate30 mins.

Provided by Tonda

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
2 tablespoons ketchup
8 scallions
6 ounces snow peas or 1 1/2 cups snow peas
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
3 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Slice chicken very thin on the diagonal. In a large bowl toss the chicken with 1 Tbsp of the soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoons of sesame oil, and 1 teaspoons rice vinegar.
  • In another bowl, combine 1/4 water with the ketchup (I use sugar free), remaining soy sauce, 1 Tbsp vinegar and 1-1/2 tsp sesame oil.

  • Heat 1-1/2 Tbsp of canola oil in large non stick skillet or stir fry pan over med. high heat until hot. Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally until it loses its raw appearance. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add remaining canola oil, scallions, snow peas, and ginger and cook stirring occasionally, until the scallions and ginger start to brown.
  • Return the chicken to the pan and add ketchup mixture and half of the sesame seeds. Cook until chicken is cooked through and snow peas are crisp tender.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger has a more vibrant flavor than ground ginger. If you don't have fresh ginger on hand, you can substitute 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger for every 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, and sesame oil helps to tenderize the chicken and infuse it with flavor.
  • Use a hot wok: A hot wok is essential for getting a good sear on the chicken and vegetables. If your wok is not hot enough, the chicken will not brown properly and the vegetables will become soggy.
  • Stir-fry in batches: If you are cooking a large amount of chicken and vegetables, stir-fry them in batches. This will prevent the wok from becoming overcrowded and the food from sticking together.
  • Serve immediately: Ginger chicken with snow peas is best served immediately after it is cooked. The chicken will become tough if it is allowed to sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Ginger chicken with snow peas is a quick and easy stir-fry that is packed with flavor. The tender chicken, crisp vegetables, and flavorful sauce make this dish a favorite for both adults and children. Next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious meal, give ginger chicken with snow peas a try.
