In this quick stove-top dish, classic Italian chicken piccata meets Asian stir-fry when prepared in a wok along with the addition of soy sauce, string beans and peanut oil. A light coating of cornstarch gives this chicken a nice brown color and a crispy exterior and it also aids in thickening the sauce. Lemon brightens the flavor of this stir-fry and should be added once the food is plated. If an acidic ingredient like lemon juice is added to the wok, it will ruin the pan’s patina. For variation, small broccoli florets would make a good swap for the beans. | |
Ingredients
-
1 pound uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into ¼-inch-thick slices
-
3 tbsp dry sherry, divided
- 2 tsp cornstarch, divided
- ¾ tsp table salt, divided
- ¼ tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- ½ cup fat-free chicken broth
- 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 4 tsp peanut oil, or vegetable oil
-
1 medium uncooked shallot, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 2 cups uncooked string beans, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 tbsp capers, rinsed
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- ½ medium lemons, cut into 4 wedges
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine chicken, 1 tbsp sherry, 1 tsp cornstarch, 1⁄2 tsp salt, and black pepper. In a small bowl, combine broth, soy sauce, and the remaining 2 tbsp sherry and 1 tsp cornstarch.
- Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch skillet over high until a drop of water evaporates within 1 to 2 seconds of contact. Swirl 1 tbsp oil in the wok. Add shallot and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Push shallot and garlic to the sides of the wok and add chicken, spreading evenly into 1 layer in the wok. Cook, undisturbed, for 1 minute so chicken begins to sear. Stir-fry until chicken is no longer pink but not cooked through, about 1 minute.
- Swirl the remaining 1 tsp oil in a wok. Add green beans and capers and sprinkle with remaining 1⁄4 tsp salt and stir-fry just until combined, about 30 seconds. Swirl in broth mixture and stir-fry until chicken is cooked through and sauce is slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve with lemon wedges.
- Serving Size: 1 cup.
