Litchi Garlic Chicken Recipe

	Merlin / All my dishes 1 year, 10 months ago Happy Chinese New Year! This dish is traditionally made with raw chicken meat. I use the meat from one of those wonderful garlicky rotisserie chickens from the grocery store. The juxtaposition of the sweet litchis and salty garlic chicken grease is irresistible. ...

Ingredients

1 2-1/2-3 lb grocery store rotisserie chicken

1 sliced onion

2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced

peanut oil to stir fry

3 stalks celery, sliced

2 cans of sliced water chestnuts, drained

1 can (14 oz.) litchis in syrup

1-2 t hot pepper flakes (to taste)

2 T. tempura or lo sodium soy sauce

1 t. cornstarch dissolved in 2 t. water

Directions

1) Remove meat from 2 ½-3 ½ lb garlic-flavored rotisserie chicken. The carcass and skin makes a wonderful rotisserie chicken soup. Shred meat into bite-sized chunks.

2) In a hot wok or wok pan, stir fry 1 sliced onion and 2 minced and seeded jalapeno peppers in peanut oil until just soft. Remove

3) Add a bit more peanut oil and 3 stalks sliced celery and 2 cans of sliced water chestnuts, drained. Stir fry until the celery is just becoming soft.

4) Add chicken and onion. Add 1 can litchis, drained with ¼ cup of the litchi juice from the can, 1-2 t. hot pepper flakes (to taste) and 2 T. tempura sauce. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low. Cover and cook 4 minutes.

5) Add 1 t. cornstarch dissolved in 2 t. water. Cover and cook for 2 minutes or until sauce thickens.

What a terrific recipe! Again, I would adapt it slightly - lichees in juice rather than syrup -(diabetic, me) you can never have too many ways of doing chicken. I am going to try this. I agree, I love those rotisserie chickens...
Thanks again Merlin.
