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.

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

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.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Use a slotted spoon to add just chicken to the skillet, reserving marinade in the bowl. Cook until chicken is no longer pink in the middle and juices run clear, about 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate.
  • Add green onions and bell pepper to the hot skillet. Cook over medium-high heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Return chicken to the skillet.
  • Stir cornstarch into the bowl with the reserved marinade. Pour into skillet with chicken and vegetables and increase heat to high. Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, so I omitted the chili peppers from the recipe. It was still delicious!

I found that the chicken was a little dry. I think I'll try marinating it in the sauce for a few hours before cooking it next time.

The sauce is a little too sweet for my taste, but that's easily fixed by adding a little less sugar.

This recipe is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the sweet and sour sauce and they don't even realize they're eating broccoli and carrots.
