  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2      each          boned and skinned chicken breast halves
   4                    Garlic cloves -- crushed
   1 1/3  tbsp          ginger root -- minced
   2       tb           Sesame oil
   4       tb           soy sauce, Tamari
   1      lb            Snow peas
   6       tb           Oil
   1      c             cashews
     1/4  c             chicken broth -- or water
   2      tbsp          cornstarch

   Cut the chicken into small, bite-sized pieces.  In a small bowl,
combine
  the garlic (pushed through a garlic press), ginger, sesame oil and
tamari.
   Stir the chicken into this marinade, and set aside.  Break the stem
ends
  off the snow peas.  Place the oil in a wok or large skillet, and, when
it
  is hot, stir in the cashews.  Cook just for a couple of minutes, until
the
  nuts are golden.  Remove with a slotted spoon, and set them aside in a
  serving dish.  Stir-fry the snow peas in the oil about two minutes,
just
  until they have turned bright green.  Add to the cashews in the
serving
  dish.  Stir-fry the marinated chicken in the oil just until it is
opaque
  throughout, about 5 minutes.  Dissolve the cornstarch in chicken broth
and add to the pan along with the snow peas and cashews.  Cook and stir
just until thickened and hot through.   Source:  The 20-Minute Natural
