Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 Tbsp sesame oil
2 Tbsp chinese five spice powder
2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
4 oz fresh snow peas (trimmed
2 oz shiitake mushrooms
2 small red chilies
2-3 carrots thinly julienned
1 red bell pepper julienned
1 medium onion julienned
1 8 oz can sliced water chestnuts, drained
1 c chicken broth
1/4 c hoisin sauce
1 Tbsp chinese hot mustard
1 Tbsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp corn starch
2 tsp finely grated fresh ginger

Steps:

  • 1. Gather all your ingredients and prep. everything ahead of time. Once you start cooking it will go quick and easy that way.
  • 2. In a large skillet or wok, heat the oils over medium-high heat
  • 3. Liberally season chicken with the Chinese five spice.
  • 4. In a small bowl, combine broth, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, Chinese hot mustard, ginger, and cornstarch. Set aside. * Note. I often use dried shiitake mushrooms for this dish. when I do I save the water I use to reconstitute them and then add a chicken bouillon cube to it and this is what I use for the broth.
  • 5. Add the chicken to the hot skillet and cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • 6. Add the snow peas, mushrooms, chilies, carrots ,bell pepper, and onion and cook an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the water chestnuts.
  • 7. Add the sauce mixture to the skillet and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium to medium-low, and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes, or until sauce thickens.
  • 8. * Note: This dish goes great over hot cooked rice or rice noodles.
