Sarasota'S Chicken Not Steak Crockpot Pepper Steak - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
4 -6 cups jasmine rice, cooked (any white rice will work fine for this dish)
1 1/4 lbs chicken, thighs and breasts, boneless skinless and thin sliced
2 tablespoons cornstarch (for coating the chicken)
1 very large onion, cut in quarters and thin sliced
1 large red bell pepper, thin sliced
1 large yellow bell pepper, thin sliced
1 large green pepper, thin sliced
1 large orange bell pepper, thin sliced
2 cups button mushrooms, thin sliced
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup sherry wine
1/3 soy sauce (you can also serve some on the side as a garnish if you want more flavor)
3 teaspoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
salt (go easy, soy is salty)
pepper
Garnish
chow mein noodles
Preparation
-
Crockpot -- This is so easy. In a large baggie, add the corn starch and all the chicken and toss well until all the chicken is completely coated.
Shake the excess cornstarch off and add the chicken to the crock pot. Then add in the onions, peppers, and mushrooms on top.
In a medium bowl, add the tomatoes, broth, sherry, soy, garlic, ginger, worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, pinch of salt (go easy) and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Mix well and pour over the chicken, pepper and onions.
Turn on low for about 4-5 hours. Boneless chicken breasts and thighs don't take too long. Now I wish I could give you an exact time. My crockpot took 4 hours My small one took 5. I did stir once during cooking but it is not necessary.
Note -- If you like yours a bit thinner, add a little extra chicken stock if you want. Before serving, check for any additional seasoning - salt and pepper if necessary.
Rice -- Cook according to package directions. Approximately 1-1/2 cups cooked rice per person.
Serve -- I serve a nice helping of rice per person and top with the Chicken Pepper Steak and then some of the chow mein noodles for a little crunch.
Just a nice easy dish. ENJOY!
