Spicy and Sweet Chicken Saute

By vail28

Ingredients

• 1/2 * 1/2 cup Chinese Hoisin sauce
• 3 * 3 tablespoons Chinese or Japanese soy sauce
• 1/4 * 1/4 cup honey
• 1/3 * 1/3 cup each dry white wine and rice or cider vinegar
• 8 * 8 large cloves garlic
• 1 * 1 fresh jalapeno chile, seeded (if you like it hot, leave in the seeds)
• 6 * 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, rinsed and patted dry (organically raised, if possible)
• * Canola or safflower oil (cold-pressed organic, if possible)

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a blender or food processor puree together all ingredients except the chicken and oil. Combine marinade with chicken in a large zipper-top plastic bag and refrigerate up to 2 days.

2. Lightly film a large heavy skillet with oil and set over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking. Add chicken and brown quickly on both sides. Turn heat to medium-low and cook about 6 minutes per side, or until firm when pressed. Serve hot or warm.
