RECIPE 44

Szechwan Chicken

      GRANNY SAYS: This is our all-time family and party fave! It can be anything from mildly hot to sizzle-your-braids, depending on whether you choose more or less aggressive peppers. By my standards, Anaheim peppers are mild-mannered, and those little red Chinese peppers are absolutely diabolical! (Either way, our family never met a pepper it didn't like!)

     

4 boned chicken breasts 1/3 cup light soy sauce
1/3 cup cooking sherry 4 tbsp. brown sugar
1 tbsp. cornstarch 6 dried red chili peppers
2 tbsp. canola oil 1 chopped bell pepper
6 chopped green onions 1/2 cup cashew nuts
1/4 cup chopped parsley 2-3 cups hot cooked rice
  • Cut chicken into small pieces
  • Marinate for 2 or more hours in a sauce of soy, cooking sherry, brown sugar, and cornstarch.
  • Scald red peppers, slice in strips, and sauté in oil with chicken.
  • When chicken is done, add remaining vegetables and cashews and cook until vegetables are tender but still colorful.
  • Serve hot, over rice.
