The Chinese New Year falls on February 10, this
year, marking the “Year of the Dragon”. In the Chinese
culture, the dragon traditionally represents good luck,
strength, health. In honor of this special occasion, we would love for you to try our Dragon Chicken recipe.

Dragon Chicken

Savory, a little spicy with a touch of sweetness.

Ingredients

• 1 pound sliced chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 quart vegetable oil
• 1 cup broccoli
• 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
• 1/2 cup sugar snap peas
• 1/2 cup green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 medium carrot, sliced
• 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
• 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
• 4 teaspoons whiskey
• 8 ounces heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 3 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
• 2 teaspoons lobster base
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1/3 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Place the chicken breast into a bowl. Add the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Toss together.

Preheat remaining vegetable oil in the wok to 325 degrees F. Add the marinated chicken and cook for about 4 minutes. Then add the broccoli, mushrooms, snap peas, peppers and carrots. Continue to cook for 2 more minutes. Drain the oil. Transfer the chicken and vegetables to a bowl and set aside.

Return the wok to the stovetop. Add the chopped garlic, whiskey and heavy cream. Heat for 30 seconds, then add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, Cajun seasoning, lobster base, sugar and black pepper. Cook and stir continually until the sauce begins to boil, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken and vegetables back into the wok. Toss together and cook for 1 minute.
