  • Heat a wok or large deep skillet over high heat.
  • Add vegetable oil and swirl to coat pan.

  • Add chicken and spread into a single layer, cook until most of the edges turn white, about 1 minute.
  • Toss well and cook until most pieces have changed color outside but are still not done, less than 1 minute.
  • Transfer to reserved bowl, leaving behind as much oil as possible.
  • Add mushrooms to pan and spread out as much as possible; cook for 1 minute and then toss well.
  • Return chicken and any juices to the pan, toss well, and cook, tossing occasionally, for 1 minute more.
  • Add snow peas and water chestnuts.
  • Cook, tossing occasionally, for 1 minute more.
