Garlic Pea Pod Chicken

This is a friend's recipe {thanks, Kristin!} and so so yummy. It was made for a large crowd and was quite the hit!

Ingredients:

3 chicken breast, cut bite size

1 T. oil

∏ lb. pea pods

Dash salt, pepper


Marinade {We doubled this}:

2 T. soy sauce

2 T. mirin {It is rice wine. For those skeptical of using it because of religious reasons, it has been researched and deemed okay to use. Not like other cooking wines.}

1 T. cornstarch

3 cloves garlic, crushed, minced or pressed

2 T. oil

Dash pepper



Directions:

Marinate chicken in marinade for 1 hour. Heat 1 T. oil in heavy skillet or wok. Stir-fry pea pods for a few minutes until crisp-tender. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange on a serving platter in a ring. Stir-fry chicken with marinade until chicken is cooked through. (sometimes I add a little water to the chicken while it is cooking, so the marinade is more gravy-like. Just watch it while it cooks. You can tell.) Mound within pea pod ring. Serves 4.
