Shredded Chicken with Peppers and Carrots

8 Servings


2 pounds boneless chicken breasts, skinned
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
3 tablespoons dry sherry
1 egg white, slightly beaten
1 teaspoon hot pepper oil
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup thinly sliced red bell peppers
1 cup thinly sliced yellow bell peppers
1 cup thinly sliced carrots
1 teaspoon hot pepper oil
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup grated ginger
1 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 cup diced green bell peppers

Use a very sharp knife to slice chicken breasts horizontally, paper thin. Cut the slices into strips about 1/8 inch wide and 1 1/2-2 inches long. Place in a bowl. Combine half of the cornstarch and half of the soy sauce with the sherry and egg white. Pour over chicken slivers and let stand 30 minutes. Heat 1 tablespoon hot pepper oil and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a skillet. Sauté carrot slivers 1 minute. Add bell peppers and sauté for 1 minute. Remove vegetable mixture from pan and set to one side. In the same pan, heat 1 tablespoon of hot pepper oil and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Add chicken and stir-fry until shredded and opaque. In a bowl, combine chicken broth, 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Stir into pan, cooking until sauce is thickened. Add vegetables and black pepper, stirring until thoroughly heated. Serve at once.
