CHICKEN WITH SUGAR SNAP PEAS & SPRING HERBS

Steps:

• Note: Sprouted beans, not to be confused with bean sprouts, are beans that have just barely sprouted-they look like a bean with a tiny fiber attached (rather than the more fleshy-looking sprouts commonly used in Asian cooking).
• Whisk broth, mustard, salt, pepper and 2 teaspoons flour in a small bowl until smooth.
• Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with the remaining 1 tablespoon flour.
• Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken in two batches, adjusting heat as necessary to prevent burning, until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate; tent with foil to keep warm.
• Increase heat to high; stir the broth mixture and add to the skillet along with snap peas, artichoke hearts and sprouted beans.
• Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook until the snap peas are tender-crisp, about 3 minutes.
• Return the chicken to the pan, nestling it into the vegetables, and simmer until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in herbs and vinegar.
• Enjoy!
