223.0. "Stir Fry Chicken with Broccoli" by KELVIN::RPALMER () Mon Feb 24 1986 15:14

    		Chicken with Walnuts
		(serves two)
    
    	1 Boneless Breast of Chicken
    	1/2 cup of shelled walnuts
    	8-10 mushrooms
    	1 small onion
    	1/2 bag of frozen broccoli cuts
    	Penut Oil
    
    	Cut chicken into half inch squares and stir fry in 2-3 tsp of
    penut oil.  Place cooked chicken on paper towel to drain oil.  Slice
    mushrooms and stir fry in oil until they appear 'slimy'.  Add diced
    onion and cook until onion browns.  Next add walnuts with 1-2
    tsp of oil.  Add 1/2 bag of defrosted broccoli cuts and stir until
    broccoli is cooked through.  Add the chicken back in, and stir fry
    until everything looks done.  Serve over rice with soy sauce.
    (for all you veggies...it also tastes good without the chicken.
    Just add more walnuts.  The nuts and the rice are protein complements.)
    
    						Enjoy!

223.2	Spicy Chicken w/walnuts	KOALA::ROBINS	Scott A. Robins"	`Wed Mar 05 1986 15:32`	27
	Warning: although this tastes really good, I've never been able to get it to look like the picture in the cookbook. My attempts invariably come out looking grayish-black. Gross, but delicious. Scott A. Robins 1 whole chicken breast, skinned, boned, & cut into 1 inch pieces 5 TBSP soy sauce+white wine (any combination -- I use 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 wine) 2 TSP cornstarch 1 TSP grated ginger 1/2 - 1 TSP crushed rep pepper (amount depends on how spicy you like your food) 1 large green pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces 2 green onions, bias-cut into 1-inch pieces 1 cup walnut halves 2-3 drops sesame oil 1) Rinse off the walnuts and dry off on paper towels 2) Mix cornstarch, ginger, & red pepper in a small bowl 3) Add soy sauce+wine to bowl and stir 4) Add sesame oil to bowl 5) Heat 2-3 TBSP cooking oil in wok 6) Stir-fry walnuts, then remove 7) Stir-fry onions & peppers, then remove 8) Stir-fry chicken (I do it in two batches) 9) Add walnuts, onions, & peppers to wok, then stir-fry a minute or two. 10) Stir soy mixture, then add to wok and cook a minute or two.
223.3	I'll second that!	WHEN::SVIRSKY		`Tue Mar 11 1986 08:38`	14
	My fiance and I decided to try his new wok and the recipe we chose for our experiment was -.1, Spicy Chicken with Walnuts. When making up the shopping list, we decided to get a bit creative and added assorted vegetables...mushrooms, broccoli, red peppers, etc. We both enjoyed the experience and the resulting dish! Contrary to the warning about the dish looking a grayish-black, we had a very colorful meal. (We used peanut oil, if that makes any difference.) Next time we'll add a bit less hot pepper! Very good recipe! Karen
223.4	try light soy sauce	VIKING::INGMANN		`Wed Apr 29 1987 16:19`	9
	RE .2 If your're not using light (not "lite") soy sauce, maybe you could try that. I cook chicken in regular soy sauce when I don't have light, and sometimes the sauce does get grey and dark. I've read that there's no difference between the two soy sauces except the color. Tina
223.5	Concentration?	PARSEC::PESENTI	JP	`Fri May 01 1987 07:46`	11
	re .-1 > I've read > that there's no difference between the two soy sauces except the color. I thought it was the concentration? Although, just mixing water and heavy soy does not seem to yield light soy. The light soys certainly seem less salty to my tongue, too. - JP
223.6	CHICKEN AND BROCOLLI DELIGHT!	MCIS2::GALLUZZO		`Fri Aug 19 1988 17:32`	22
	"CHICKEN WITH BROCCOLI" 4 CHICKEN BREASTS 1 PKG. BROCCOLI 1 CAN CR. OF MUSHROOM SOUP (1 can of mushrooms added optional) 1 AVER. SIZE CONTAINER OF SOUR CREAM 1 tsp. salt 1 tsp. pepper Cook broccoli until tender in water. Mix in a bowl the cr. of mushroom soup, sour cream and salt/pepper. In a casserole dish, arrange broccoli on bottom, place chicken breasts on top, then add the mixture in bowl on top of that.
