One-Pan Ground Kung Pao Chicken

Step 1

Place a large skillet or work over high heat. Add one tablespoon oil to the pan, followed by the ground chicken. Let brown until a crust starts to form, then break chicken apart with a spatula or wooden spoon and continue cooking until cooked through, 2-3 more minutes. Remove to a plate and set aside.

Step 2

Add remaining neutral oil to the pan, followed by the zucchini and bell pepper. Cook just until slightly caramelized, about 2 minutes.

Step 3

Add the white parts of the green onion, reserving the green parts for later. Add crushed red pepper, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and the ground chicken back to the pan. Cook briefly, just 30 seconds.

Step 4

Stir in the cooking wine, soy sauce, sugar, and cornstarch/water mixture. Cook, stirring/tossing almost constantly, until sauce has thickened.

Step 5

Stir in green onions, then top with crushed peanuts for serving. Enjoy!
