Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 each boned and skinned chicken breast halves
4 Garlic cloves -- crushed
1 1/3 tbsp ginger root -- minced
2 tb Sesame oil
4 tb soy sauce, Tamari
1 lb Snow peas
6 tb Oil
1 c cashews
1/4 c chicken broth -- or water
2 tbsp cornstarch

Cut the chicken into small, bite-sized pieces. In a small bowl,
combine
the garlic (pushed through a garlic press), ginger, sesame oil and
tamari.
Stir the chicken into this marinade, and set aside. Break the stem
ends
off the snow peas. Place the oil in a wok or large skillet, and, when
it
is hot, stir in the cashews. Cook just for a couple of minutes, until
the
nuts are golden. Remove with a slotted spoon, and set them aside in a
serving dish. Stir-fry the snow peas in the oil about two minutes,
just
until they have turned bright green. Add to the cashews in the
serving
dish. Stir-fry the marinated chicken in the oil just until it is
opaque
throughout, about 5 minutes. Dissolve the cornstarch in chicken broth
and add to the pan along with the snow peas and cashews. Cook and stir
just until thickened and hot through. Source: The 20-Minute Natural
