Hi: I like to use the ready made Indian and chinese spice paste, you can get the jarred Szechuan sauce in the chinese aisle of the supermarket.
Szechuan chicken
1 Boneless Chicken Breast - cut into chunks
1/4 Green bell pepper - seeded and cut into chunks
1/4 Red bell pepper - seeded and cut into chunks
3 scallions (green onions) sliced into thin rings
Sesame oil
Szechuan sauce in a jar
Oil to cook
Heat about 1 tablespoon oil in a non-stick frypan on Med heat. Add chicken and cook until no longer pink, but do not brown. Remove from pan and set aside. Add more oil if needed and gently cook peppers until hot but still crisp. You don't want to brown these either. Put chicken back into frypan and turn heat to Med - low. Add Szechuan sauce, starting with a couple of teaspoons mixed with a tablespoon of water. heat through and taste - if you want it hotter, add more sauce ( and water - depending on how ''juicy'' you want it.)
Add scallions and cook about 20 seconds more. Remove from heat and sprinkle a little sesame oil over for taste. Serve with rice or noodles. Recipe can be adjusted for serving size and other vegetables like peas, straw mushrooms, carrots, onion, bok choy can be used, whatever you like and that's handy!
