Not all good Asian cooking needs to be done in a wok. Give your wrist a rest from all the tossing and stir-frying and let the crockpot do the work for you. Fresh ginger and orange peel bring a lovely aromatic flavor to the chicken, and crunchy cashews on top add a great textural element.

serves/makes:

ready in:
over 5 hrs

ingredients

8 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 can (15 ounce size) whole baby corn, drained
1 can (8 ounce size) sliced water chestnuts, drained
1 large red bell pepper, sliced
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
4 strips fresh orange peel
3/4 cup stir-fry or teriyaki sauce
chopped cashews or peanuts

directions

Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot. Top with the baby corn, water chestnuts, bell pepper, onion, ginger, and orange peel. Drizzle the stir fry sauce evenly over the ingredients.

Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until the chicken is cooked through.

Serve the chicken with the sauce and vegetables, sprinkled with chopped nuts, if desired.
