INGREDIENTS

1 ½ pounds chicken breasts sliced thinly across the grain

1 (8 oz) can water chestnuts sliced (optional)

3-6 Tblsp cup garlic-infused olive oil

MARINADE INGREDIENTS

¼ cup soy sauce (gluten free)

1/8 cup garlic-infused olive oil

2 Tblsp toasted sesame oil

3” fresh ginger peeled and grated

Pinch red pepper flakes (optional)

¼ cup creamy peanut butter

3 scallions (green part only) – thinly sliced

GARNISH:

2 Tblsp sesame seeds – toasted (optional but very pretty!)

DIRECTIONS

Combine all marinade ingredients in a medium bowl.

Slice chicken thinly and add to the bowl with the marinade. Stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate for about 4 hours.

To cook, use a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 1-2 Tblsp of garlic-infused olive oil to the pan and heat for a minute until oil is quite hot. Add about 1/3 of the sliced chicken. Spread the sliced chicken in a single layer and flatten out the slices as much as possible so it cooks quickly. Use a pair of tongs to flip each slice of chicken over to cook on the reverse side. It should only take about 2 minutes to cook the chicken through. When it’s cooked through transfer to a heated serving bowl. Continue in two more small batches to cook all the chicken in the same way.

When complete, add a bit more garlic-infused olive oil to the pan and heat. Add the scallion greens and water chestnuts to the pan. Cook about 3 minutes. Pour over the chicken.

Serve in bowls with steamed rice (optional) and with toasted sesame seeds sprinkled on the top.
