Ingredients

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, trimmed
1 can 14-ounce reduced-sodium chicken broth
3 Tbsp rice vinegar
3 Tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
3 tsp toasted sesame oil, divided
2 Tbsp tahini or cashew butter
1 Tbsp minced fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb snow peas, trimmed and thinly silvered lengthwise
2 Tbsp chopped cashews

Directions

1. Place chicken in a medium skillet or saucepan and add broth; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer gently until cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board to cool. Shred into bite-size pieces. (Cool and refrigerate the broth, reserving it for another use.)

2. Meanwhile, whisk vinegar, soy sauce, 2 teaspoons sesame oil and tahini (or cashew butter) in a large bowl until smooth.

3. Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add ginger and garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in slivered peas and cook, stirring, until bright green, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the dressing.

4. Add the chicken to the bowl with the peas; toss to combine. Serve sprinkled with cashews.
