Number Of Ingredients 18

4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
2 Tbsp frying oil
1/2 c chicken broth
4 Tbsp light soy sauce
2 tsp garlic chili paste
2 tsp dry sherry
2 tsp sesame oil
2 tsp red wine vinegar
3 Tbsp corn starch
1 tsp crushed red pepper
1 clove garlic
2 c broccoli florets
1 c mushrooms, fresh sliced
3-4 small dried chili peppers
1/4 c peanuts
1 stick celery - chopped
5 scallions- cut 2
1 medium bell pepper sliced

Steps:

1. Cut chicken into small peices. Cook in oil 5-10 minutes until cooked through. May season with additional garlic if you like. Set Aside. Add peanuts and stir fry until lightly brown. Set aside. Cover to keep warm.
2. In same skillet, stir fry brocolli, mushrooms, scallions, celery, bell pepper, garlic, red pepper flakes and dried chili peppers to desired tenderness. May need to add a bit more oil. (I use Olive oil) Pan scrapings add flavor, so don't by shy.
3. In the meantime, make Kung Pao sauce with remaining ingredients. Mix well and pour over vegetables in skillet. Turn heat up and stir until sauce thickens. Reduce heat to warm. Add Chicken and top with peanuts. Serve over rice.
