SAUCY KUNG PAO CHICKEN from @kalejunkie, for Episode 7 of Dinner in 20, where I show you how to make healthy, nourishing restaurant-quality food that will take the guesswork out of the million dollar question…WHAT’S SHOULD I MAKE FOR DINNER TONIGHT?! This is my take on kung pao chicken—it’s saucyyyyy, not too spicy and a great addition to your meal prep! You can add any veggies you like and enjoy it on it’s own or over rice. It is SO GOOD!⁣
⁣
Makes 6 servings ⁣
SAUCE:⁣
1/2 cup chicken broth⁣
1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce⁣
2 tb hoisin sauce (I used gluten-free)⁣
2 tb maple syrup⁣
2 tb rice vinegar⁣
2 tb arrowroot or tapioca or corn starch ⁣
3 cloves garlic, mashed⁣
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes⁣
⁣
STIRY FRY⁣
1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces⁣
4 tb olive oil or avocado oil, divided⁣
2 red bell peppers, seeds removed and cut into small pieces⁣
2 zucchini, sliced (about 1 cup)⁣
2 cloves garlic⁣
1/2 cup roasted, salted peanuts⁣
4 dried chilis, chopped*⁣
3 green onions, chopped⁣
⁣
For a mild version, either dump out the seeds from the dried chilis or omit all together. Alternatively you can use 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes instead.⁣
⁣
In a bowl or liquid measuring cup, prepare the sauce by whisking together all of the ingredients. Cut chicken into cubes and cut bell peppers and zucchini. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add two tb of the oil. Once the pan is hot, add the chicken. Saute for 4 minutes until cooked on the outside (might still be pink inside and that is okay!). Remove chicken from pan and set aside. In the same pan, add remaining 2 tb of oil. Add the bell peppers, zucchini, garlic, peanuts, chili peppers. Saute for 3 minutes then pour in the sauce. Stir to coat well. Return the chicken to the pan and stir well. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let cook for 5-6 more minutes until fully cooked through. Plate and ENJOY!⁣
