Walnut Chicken

I got this out of an old Family Circle cookbook my mom recently gave me. We just loved it. It's very quick to make also.

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1⁄4 cup soy sauce
• 1  tablespoon dry sherry (I used cooking sherry because that was all I had.)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1  lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1 inch pieces
• 3  tablespoons  vegetable oil
• 1⁄3 cup  sliced green onion
• 1  garlic clove, cut in half
• 1  cup walnuts, coarsely chopped

Directions

1. Combine soy sauce, sherry and ginger in a medium bowl, add chicken pieces, mix and let stand for 15 minutes.
2. Heat a large skillet; add 2 tablespoons of oil and heat until smoking. Add green onions, garlic and walnuts. Cook 3 minutes, stirring often. Discard garlic and spoon walnut mixute into a small bowl and reserve.
3. Add remaining oil to skillet and heat. Add chicken and soy mixture and stir-fry until chicken is done and coated with the soy mixture. About 5 minutes. Add reserved walnut mixture and stir to mix. Serve with rice or mashed potatoes.
