My favorite recipe...ever! Chicken With Walnuts

I thought I'd get this recipe thing off with a bang... here is my favorite recipe ever. It originally came from a magazine about 20 years ago, I have no idea which one, and I have adapted it a little, so here it goes:

Chicken With Walnuts

Sauce:
3 TBSP Gluten Free Soy Sauce (Try Organic Tamari or Great Value)
2 TBSP Dry Cooking Sherry
2 tsp Cornstarch
1 tsp Sugar

2 TBSP Oil
2 Whole boneless/skinless chicken breasts, cubed
1 cup Broken Walnuts (Be sure to use a brand that is GF and not manufactured in a facility that produces something with wheat... Fisher brand is good, Diamond brand is not)
1 tsp Grated gingerroot or ginger from the seasoning aisle
1 Medium Green Bell Pepper, cut in 1 inch pieces
1 Medium Red Bell Pepper, cut in 1 inch pieces
4 Green onions, chopped

Cooked white rice

Directions:
Mix together sauce and set aside (Soy Sauce, Sherry, Cornstarch, and Sugar). Preheat wok or large skillet over high heat with the oil. Stirfry walnuts in hot oil about 1 minute or until lightly toasted; remove from skillet. Stirfry gingerroot for 15 seconds then add bell peppers and green onions. Stirfry 3 minutes; remove from skillet. Add chicken to skillet, cook until no longer pink then push away from center of skillet. Stir sauce and add to center of skillet. Cook and stir until thick and bubbly. Stir in walnuts and veggies until heated through. Serve over rice.

This recipe is also easily doubled if you want to make up a big batch- it's excellent leftover (and I don't like leftovers!). Enjoy and let me know how you like it!
