Kung Pao Chicken Recipe




INGREDIENTS:
  • 2 Tablespoons of Dark Sesame Oil (Kirksville doesn't carry this so I used Extra Virgin olive oil)
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 teasoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (I used a 1/2 teaspoon and it was still a little too hot for my kids- but my husband loves all things spicy)
  • 1 cup snow peas, trimmed (I used sugar snap peas because we don't like snow peas at our house)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped unsalted, dry-roasted peanuts
