Kung Pao Chicken Tacos Recipes

Steps:

• Toss chicken with cornstarch.
• Heat 1/4 cup dressing in large nonstick skillet on medium heat. Add bell peppers and snow peas; cook 3 min., stirring frequently. Add garlic and chicken; cook and stir 6 min.
• Add chili sauce, crushed pepper and remaining dressing; stir. Simmer on medium-low heat 5 min. or until chicken is done, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, heat tortillas directed on package.
• Remove skillet from heat. Stir nuts into chicken mixture. Spoon onto tortillas; roll up.

Steps:

• Marinade: In a non-reactive bowl, prepare the marinade. Combine the rice wine, peanut oil, soy sauce, salt and cornstarch. Stir in the chicken pieces and refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for the sauce. Set aside.
• Over high heat, in a wok, bring the peanut oil to almost smoking temperature. Stir-fry the chilies, ginger, garlic and white part of the green onions for 30 to 40 seconds, or until the chilies turn dark. Add the chicken and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, until golden in color.
• Add the sauce and bring to a boil. Add the peanuts. Thicken with the slurry and continue to cook until glossy. Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with julienne green onions.

Steps:

• Coat a large saucepan with oil, add the red pepper flakes and toast over medium heat until aromatic. Add the chicken broth and 28 ounces (2 cans) water and bring to a light boil. Add the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, Worcestershire and rice wine, reduce the heat and simmer for a few minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature. Add about 3 to 4 ladles of room temperature sauce to a resealable plastic bag and add the chicken. Let marinate for at least 1 hour.
• Add the cornstarch to the remaining sauce and mix well.
• Heat a large skillet or a flat top grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Cook the chicken in the hot skillet until cooked through and lightly browned. Add the remaining sauce mixture and cook to desired consistency, coating the chicken well. Transfer to a serving bowl or platter.
