Chicken with Snow Peas

Once again, my efforts in the garden were successful.  Previous attempts at growing snow peas resulted in just a few pods.  This time, thanks to cooler weather (don't grow snow peas in the summer, my friends!), I had a pretty decent harvest.  

2 Chicken Breasts, thinly sliced

3 Tbs. Soy Sauce

1 Tbs. Mirin

1 Clove Garlic, crushed

2 Tbs. Corn Starch

1 Tsp. Sesame Oil

2 Cups Snow Peas

2 Cloves Garlic, chopped

Small Pat of Butter

1/4 Cup Chicken Stock

1/2 Tbs. Hoisin Sauce

sub. 1 Tbs. Soy if you don't have it

1 Tsp. Fresh Ginger, crushed

Marinate chicken for 1/2 hour in soy, mirin, garlic, sesame oil, and corn starch.

Heat pan to medium-high, add butter, and saute snow peas & garlic for about 30 seconds.  Remove from pan, raise heat to high, and cook chicken for 2 minutes.  Return peas/garlic to pan, and add stock/sauce/ginger.  Cook for one minute.
