Steamed Ginger Chicken And Snow Peas - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 boneless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons Italian dressing
8 ounces snow peas
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 small gingerroot
1 large scallion
1 lemon, quartered
dried red pepper flakes

Preparation

Cut chicken into 3 in x 1/2 in strips.
Marinate the chicken in Italian dressing while you trim the snow peas.
In a 12-inch skillet, boil the water with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 3-4 quarter-sized slices of ginger over high heat.
Add the chicken, lower the heat to medium, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes.
Place the snow peas over chicken in the skillet, cover again, and simmer approximately 2 minutes so that snow peas are cooked but still crunchy.
Serve over cooked white rice, garnishing each portion with scallion. Serve with lemon wedges and red pepper flakes to taste.
