Chicken Dill Sauté

I love thumbing through old magazine issues and finding a great recipe.  This one comes from the May issue of GH.


Chicken Dill Sauté
Yields 4 servings

1  lemon
1 pound(s) skinless, boneless chicken-breast halves, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
3 teaspoon(s) extra virgin olive oil
1 small (4- to 6-ounce) onion, thinly sliced
2 large peppers (orange and yellow), sliced
1/2 cup(s) water
Salt
Pepper
8 ounce(s) sugar snap peas, strings removed, cut in half
1/3 cup(s) fresh dill, chopped

From lemon, grate 1 teaspoon peel; set aside. Into pie plate, squeeze 1 tablespoon juice. Add chicken; turn to coat.

In 12-inch skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil on medium-high. Add onion, peppers, 2 tablespoons water, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook 3 minutes or until softened, stirring. Transfer to large plate.

In same skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil on medium-high. Add peas, 2 tablespoons water, and 1/8 teaspoon each salt and black pepper. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until beginning to brown, stirring occasionally. Add to pepper mixture.

In same skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil on medium-high. Add chicken; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook 3 minutes or until golden, stirring once. Return vegetables to pan; add remaining 1/4 cup water. Cook 1 minute or until saucy, stirring. Stir in dill, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and reserved peel.

You could serve this over rice, or just eat it by itself!
