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.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help you move quickly and easily through the recipe.
  • Use fresh ginger and snow peas: Fresh ingredients will give your dish the best flavor. If you can't find fresh snow peas, you can use frozen ones, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Don't overcrowd the steamer basket: Make sure there is enough space between the chicken and snow peas so that they can cook evenly.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chicken: Chicken is best when it is cooked through but still juicy. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Serve immediately: Steamed ginger chicken and snow peas is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the chicken is hot and juicy and the snow peas are still crisp.

Conclusion:

Steamed ginger chicken and snow peas is a healthy, flavorful, and easy-to-make dish. It is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a light and healthy lunch. The ginger and snow peas add a bright and refreshing flavor to the chicken, and the steaming method helps to retain the nutrients in the ingredients.
