How to make walnut chicken:

Skin, halve lengthwise and bone chicken breasts. Cut chicken into 1-inch pieces; set aside.

In a small bowl, stir soy sauce into cornstarch. Stir in dry sherry, ginger root, sugar, salt and red pepper. Set aside.

Preheat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add cooking oil. Stir-fry green peppers and green onions in hot oil for 2 minutes or until crisp-tender. Remove from wok or skillet. Add walnuts to wok or skillet; stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes or until just golden. Remove from wok or skillet. (Add more oil, if necessary.)

Add half of the chicken to the hot wok or skillet; stir-fry 2 minutes. Remove from wok or skillet. Stir-fry remaining chicken 2 minutes. Return all chicken to wok or skillet.

Stir soy mixture; stir into chicken. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Stir in vegetables and walnuts. Cover and cook 1 minute more.

Serve chicken and vegetables at once. Garnish with whole red peppers and fresh cilantro, if desired. Serve with hot cooked rice. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
