Kung Pao Chicken

This is a recipe my mom has made since I was a kid.  She started with a dry seasoning mix that is impossible to find anymore, but we have discovered a liquid sauce packet.  This is not a fancy recipe, but it is relatively inexpensive, but sure tastes good!  Please note, if you do not like spicy food, even a little bit, you won't like this dish!


What you need:
-Lee Kum Kee Panda Brand sauce for Kung Pao Chicken
-1lb. boneless skinless chicken breast
-1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil OR sesame oil
-4-6 green onions
-1/3 Cup unsalted peanuts
-2 Cups white rice
-(optional) Frozen egg rolls

What you do:
-Cut your chicken breast into 1 inch pieces.  Add the oil to a skillet or wok and heat to a medium-high temperature.  Add your chicken and cook until done.
-Cut your green onions into 1/2 inch pieces and add to the chicken.  Add peanuts to the skillet as well.  Meanwhile, prepare your rice according to its instructions.


-Stir fry chicken, onions, and peanuts for two minutes.  Add sauce packet.  Here is a picture of the package to help you locate it in your grocery store.


-Heat until the sauce begins to bubble, then remove from heat.  Serve over rice with a frozen egg roll.


Servings: 4
Approximate cost: $7
