Chicken & Snow Peas Stir Fry

This is so good and like all stir-fries, once you get everything chopped, it goes together very quickly. JMM and I will get two meals out of this easily.


               Chicken and Snow Peas


 
2 tsp. each soy sauce, corn starch, sherry, and water
1 pound chicken breasts, boned, skinned, and cut in bite sized pieces
3 Tablespoons Oil
3 cloves garlic minced
1 ½ teaspoonful Sesame Oil
1 can sliced water chestnuts or bamboo shoots, drain
5-6 carrots sliced diagonally
¼ lb. Snow peas

 Cooking Sauce for Chicken and Snow Peas:
 
Stir together ¾ c. water, 2 tablespoons sherry, 4 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 ½ teaspoons sesame oil, and 1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch.

 Directions:

 In a bowl, mix soy sauce, corn starch, sherry, and water. Mix well. Add chicken and garlic. Stir to coat all pieces of chicken. Refrigerate.

Place large pan over high heat. When hot add 2 tablespoons oil. Add chicken and stir fry until done. Remove from pan and set aside.

Add 1 tablespoon oil to pan. Add vegetables and stir fry about 5 minutes. Add water and cover for 3 minutes.

Add Cooking Sauce and chicken. Cook, stirring constantly until sauce thickens.
