Ingredients
- For the Marinade:
- 1 egg white
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 2 medium boneless skinless chicken breast thinly sliced
- For the sauce:
- ⅔ cup Sweet chili sauce
- ½ cup honey
- 1 tablepoon low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon finely grated fresh lemongrass
- 2 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- ½ cup low sodium chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- For the veggies:
- 5-6 mini bell peppers thinly sliced
- 4 ounces sugar snap peas or snow peas sliced in half diagonally
- For garnish:
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- ¼ cup peanuts chopped
- Lime wedges
Instructions
- Whisk together cornstarch, egg white, rice vinegar and 1 teaspoon oil. Add sliced chicken and stir to coat. (I like to use my hand for this.) Place in refrigerator for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine sweet chili sauce, honey, soy sauce, fish sauce, ginger, lemongrass, lime juice and oil in a medium-large skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a very low simmer.
- Whisk together chicken broth and cornstarch. Slowly add mixture to sauce in skillet, stirring constantly till sauce is smooth and combined.
- Remove chicken from refrigerator and drain in a colander. Bring sauce in pan to a boil. Drop chicken slices into sauce in a single layer. Stir gently to immerse chicken in sauce and separate any pieces that may have stuck together. Cover, remove from heat and allow to sit for 5 minutes.
- Uncover, add sliced peppers and pea pods. Stir gently to combine. Serve immediately with jasmine rice. Garnish with chopped cilantro, roughly chopped, salted peanuts and fresh lime wedges.
Notes
- This dish is medium spicy. If you like your food quite spicy, increase the amount of sweet chili sauce (it's called "sweet" but it's got a fair amount of heat) and decrease the honey in proportion. If you like dishes with LOTS of heat, add a few teaspoons of Sriracha sauce to the sauce ingredients.If, on the other hand, you don't like things spicy at all, decrease the sweet chili sauce and increase the honey. Just keep the same total amount.
