Spicy Chicken and Snow Peas
Look for chile paste with garlic on the Asian aisle of large supermarkets.

I marinated the chicken in the sauce before cooking in a teriyaki sauce. I mixed a separate container of sauce and added a tablespoon of cornstarch to thicken it. I skipped the peanuts and added extra chili sauce, it still wasn't spicy enough for me or even to be called spicy chicken as the recipe title states. Definitely colorful and healthy. I also skipped the addition of the salt as well, as I think there was enough in the soy sauce.
There was a little bit of chopping/preping for this to be a truly quick weeknight dinner, but if you have two cooks working on it at the same time, one chopping, one cooking, it becomes more reasonable. As much as I don't vary from recipes, this one we did slightly. We actually cooked the chicken in the pan first rather than use already cooked chicken like other reviewers (without seeing the reviews first) and added the sauce to the chicken and veggies rather than on top later. It came out with some great flavor, and even reheated well later for lunches.
Quick and delicious stir fry. I used frozen grilled chicken breast strips and stir fried them first, then proceeded with recipe. As other reviewers, I also heated the sauce leaving the chicken & veg. in the pan. Served over brown rice. Will be making this again.
Definitely on my weekday dinner menu. Will make again - easy and delicious.
Spicy! (And tasty!) We liked this dish and we will likely do it again...easy enough to do on a weeknight. I stayed mostly with the dish, except I did not use cooking spray--I mixed the sesame oil with a little canola oil. In retrospect, using a little more sesame oil probably wouldn't have been that bad for us and a little tastier. I also sauteed raw chicken, instead of cooked chicken. We served with white sticky rice, and I put a little more rice in mine to lessen the heat. My best trick to the dish was having everything pre-measured & cut - that is the trick to a good stir fry!
Easy/quick. Made to recipe except used raw chicken breast, cut into thin strips, sautéed a couple minutes before adding carrots and red pepper. Rather than drizzling the servings, added the reduced sauce to the chicken mixture and tossed to coat all. Probably not as pretty but still a very attractive presentation. Recommend this.
