THE Chicken Dish

Yes, that is what we call it.  We adapted a recipe we found to make this dish our own.  I fixed this tonight and thought I needed to share it with everyone.  We love this dish and it makes great leftovers.  

3 chicken breast, cut into bite size pieces
EVOO
2 bunches of green onion , diced
1 red pepper, diced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 can of low sodium chicken broth, separate 3T
6T teriyaki sauce, we use the brand san-j
3T szechuan sauce, we use the brand san-j
4 tsp corn starch
1 large heaping spoon full of crunchy peanut butter
small handful of cilantro, chopped
Smart Taste Extra Wide Egg Noodles


Put a large pot of water and salt on for the noodles.  

Combine chicken broth (save 3T in a smaller dish), szechuan, and teriyaki.  In the smaller dish combine corn starch and 3T of chicken broth.  Set aside. 

Place large saute' pan over very high heat, add oil.  Wait until oil is very hot and smoking.  Cook 1/2 the chicken until it is lightly brown and done.  About 4 minutes if you pieces are small enough.  Remove from pan.  Add 2nd batch of chicken.  Remove from pan.  Add green onion, red pepper, and garlic.  Saute' until tender. 

Add noddles to boiling water.  Bring back to a rapid boil and boil 8 minutes. 

Stir 3T and corn starch to make sure it is mixed well with no lumps.  Add it to the chicken broth and sauces.  Stir.  Add to all the sauce to saute' pan. 

Bring mixture to a boil.  Let it thicken and reduce for about 10 minutes.  Add peanut butter.  Stir well.  Add chicken and noodles.  Heat through.  Add cilantro a few minutes before serving. 

We like to add a little of that red hot sauce with the green cap to our own bowl.  It gives it more heat and great flavor.
