Healthy Szechuan Chicken Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1lb pound skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into bite size pieces
- 1 1/2 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 1 small yellow onion, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 green onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tsp rice wine or dry sherry
- 1 tsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup dry-roasted peanuts
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
- 1 tsp canola oil
- 1 1/2 tsp cornstarch
Sauce
- 3 tbsp fat free chicken broth
- 1/4 tsp cornstarch
- 2 tsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
- ½ tsp ground coriander
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp sesame oil

Directions:
To prepare Szechuan sauce: Whisk broth, tomato paste, vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, coriander, black pepper and crushed red pepper in a small bowl.
To prepare chicken: Combine chicken, rice wine (or sherry), soy sauce, cornstarch and garlic in a medium bowl; mix thoroughly.
Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or large skillet over high heat. Add oil into the pan, then add ginger and onion. Stirfry for about 30 seconds. Then add the chicken mixture. Cook until the chicken begins to brown, about 2 minutes. Continue stir-frying until the chicken is lightly browned on all sides, another 1 to 2 minutes. Add broccoli, peanuts, and bell pepper and stir-fry for 1 minute. Now stir the Szechuan sauce into the pan and stir-fry until the chicken is just cooked through and the sauce is slightly thickened and glossy, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with scallions. Serve immediately.
