Peanut Sesame Chicken

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, sliced into strips (I like to cube it)
• 9 ounces broccoli, divided into small flowerets
• 9 ounces baby corn, halved if large
• 1 small red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and sliced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 cup orange juice
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch (I sometimes have to add a little more cornstarch at the end to get it to thicken up a bit)
• 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
• 1/3 cup roasted shelled, unsalted peanuts (make sure you get the unsalted ones. The soy sauce makes this dish salty enough)
• rice or noodles, to serve

Directions

1. 1

   Heat the vegetable oil and sesame oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or wok until smoking.

2. 2

   Add the chicken strips and stir-fry until browned, about 4-5 minutes.

3. 3

   Add the broccoli, corn, and red bell pepper and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes more.

4. 4

   Meanwhile, mix the soy sauce with the orange juice and cornstarch. Stir the into the chicken and vegetable mixture, stirring constantly until the sauce has slightly thickened and a glaze develops.

5. 5

   Stir in the sesame seeds and peanuts, mixing well. Heat the stir-fry for 3-4 minutes more.

6. 6

   Transfer the stir-fry to a warm serving dish and serve with rice or noodles.
