Recipe Instructions

NOTE: Recipe called for "1-1/4 to 1-1/2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts".

Marinate chicken breasts 30 minutes in salt, pepper, cornstarch, sherry & egg. Heat wok hot & dry. Add oil. When it's just beginning to smoke, add chicken, green pepper & water chestnuts, stirring 1-2 minutes. Drain through colander or sieve, reserving 2-3 tbs. oil.

Return the reserved oil to wok & add Imperial Sauce & hoisin sauce. Cook 1-2 minutes or until thickened slightly. Add nuts, chicken & vegetables, stirring everything together until well coated with sauce. Serve.

Note: Hoisin sauce is pre-packaged, found in Chinese specialty stores. Made from soybeans, flour, sugar, garlic & chili peppers, it is reddish-brown in color & is creamy & sweet. If it's too thick to spread, thin with some sesame oil.
