Chicken And Snow Pea Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 teaspoons sesame oil and the honey together in a medium bowl. Add the chicken, toss and marinate 20 minutes.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade using a slotted spoon. Heat 2 teaspoons canola oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken in 2 batches, turning once or twice, until browned, 3 to 5 minutes (add 2 more teaspoons canola oil between batches). Transfer the chicken to a plate and wipe out the skillet.
• Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons canola oil in the skillet. Add the scallions, reserving some of the green parts for topping. Add the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Whisk the broth, sugar, cornstarch, vinegar, chili paste and the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce in a bowl; add to the skillet and cook, stirring, until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 teaspoons sesame oil.
• Meanwhile, cook the snow peas in a steamer basket set over a few inches of boiling water until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Return the chicken to the skillet with the sauce and heat through. Serve the chicken and snow peas over brown rice, if desired. Top with the sesame seeds and reserved scallion greens.

Steps:

• In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over medium heat.
• Add pine nuts and 1 minced garlic clove.
• Cook, stirring, until golden, 2-3 minutes.
• Remove to paper towels to drain.
• Fill the same pot ¾ full with water and heat to boiling over high heat.
• Add snow peas and red pepper and cook 1-2 minutes, until crisp tender.
• Drain and rinse under cold water.
• Drain well; return to pot.
• Add remaining 4 tablespoons vegetable oil and 2 minced garlic cloves to pot along with chicken, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, sesame oil and salt.
• Toss until well mixed.
• Refrigerate for at least an hour or overnight before serving on salad greens.

Steps:

• Whisk the chicken broth, soy sauce, cornstarch, and ginger together in a small bowl; reserve.
• Heat oil in a large skillet or wok. Cook and stir chicken and garlic in the oil until chicken is cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in mushrooms, water chestnuts, and reserved chicken broth mixture. Cook until sauce begins to thicken, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Stir snow peas into the pan and cook until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a platter and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, add the chicken and enough cold water to cover it by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. When the water begins to boil, lower heat immediately to a gentle simmer, cover partially with a lid and cook for 10 minutes. (Monitor that the bubbles never get too big; lower heat if so.) Turn off the heat, cover completely with lid, and leave on the stovetop for another 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the sugar snap peas: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. When it begins to boil, set a bowl of ice water next to the stovetop. Drop sugar snap peas into boiling water and cook until crisp-tender, 30 to 45 seconds. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the sugar snap peas to the ice water to cool completely. Drain well and pat dry on a clean dish towel in a single layer.
• Transfer sugar snap peas to a cutting board and trim the tips, if needed, then slice lengthwise into thirds on a slight diagonal. Transfer to a large bowl or lidded container, and refrigerate.
• Prepare the dressing: In a mortar and pestle, coarsely grind the sesame seeds, leaving some whole. In a small bowl, combine ground sesame seeds, mayonnaise, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir until smooth.
• Set a bowl of ice water next to the stovetop. Transfer the chicken to the ice water to cool completely. When chicken is cool enough to handle, pat dry, then finely shred the meat using your fingers. The shreds should be similar in size to the cut sugar snap peas.
• Add the shredded chicken and all of the dressing to the chilled snap peas; toss gently until coated. Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate for up to 1 day.

Steps:

• Tear apart chicken into strips.
• Cook peas: place in pot, cover with water, bring to boil, and boil for 3 minutes. Drain.
• Combine dressing ingredients.
• Stir everything together. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving to allow salad to chill and for chicken to absorb dressing flavor.

Steps:

• Place chicken in a medium skillet or saucepan and add broth; bring to a boil.
• Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer gently until cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, 10 to 12 minutes.

• Shred into bite-size pieces. (Cool and refrigerate the broth, reserving it for another use.).
• Meanwhile, whisk vinegar, soy sauce, 2 teaspoons sesame oil and tahini (or cashew butter) in a large bowl until smooth.
