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.

CASHEW CHICKEN WITH SNAP PEAS



Cashew Chicken with Snap Peas image

Sometimes you just get a craving for a takeout favorite. While most restaurants won't include a vegetable in their version of cashew chicken, quick cooking snap peas adds a light crunch and fresh flavor that cuts through the garlicky, sweet and tangy sauce.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup long-grain white rice
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, diced
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons finely grated fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, grated
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
8 ounces sugar snap peas, trimmed
1/2 cup roasted unsalted cashews

Steps:

  • Cook the rice as the label directs. Set aside off the heat, 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
  • Meanwhile, toss the chicken with 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 teaspoons soy sauce in a large bowl; set aside 5 minutes. Stir together the hoisin sauce, remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, the vinegar, sugar, ginger, garlic, remaining 1 teaspoon cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water in a separate bowl until smooth; set aside.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook, stirring once or twice, until golden and almost fully cooked through, 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate, leaving any drippings behind. Add the snap peas to the skillet and cook until bright green, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the cashews to lightly toast, about 1 minute.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet and pour in the hoisin sauce mixture. Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the chicken and vegetables, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Divide the rice among plates or shallow bowls. Top with the chicken mixture and sauce.
