Takeout without the regret! SWL Approved Kung Pao Chicken

Ingredients:

  • 1.33 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast, chopped
  • 4 tsp sesame oil, divided
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp. ginger, minced
  • 2 celery ribs, chopped
  • 1 red pepper, chopped
  • 2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
  • 1.5 tbsp sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/3 cup peanuts, chopped (use cashews for Paleo)
  • 2 green onions, chopped

Instructions:

  • Pour half of the sesame oil into the pan over medium high heat. Add the chicken, garlic, and ginger. Cook for 5-7 minutes until just cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  • Add the remaining sesame oil to the pan. Add the celery and red pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until tender crisp.
  • Meanwhile stir together the soy sauce, Sriracha, and pepper. For a sweeter sauce add some Stevia or honey to taste.
  • Add the chicken back to the pan and add the stir fry sauce and peanuts. Cook for 1-2 minutes so the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and let rest for 2-3 minutes so sauce can further thicken. Top with green onions.
