12 ounces
skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1/2 cup sliced green onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons rice vinegar or white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking oil
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper or 1/4 teaspoon ground red
pepper
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 16-ounce (12-inch) Italian bread shell (Boboli)
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
2 tablespoons pine nuts or sliced almonds

Cut chicken into 1/2-inch pieces. In a large bowl combine half of the green
onion, the minced garlic, rice or white wine vinegar, soy sauce, the 1
tablespoon oil, the crushed or ground red pepper, and the black pepper. Add the
chicken pieces; stir to coat. Cover and let stand 30 minutes at room temperature
or for 1 hour in refrigerator. Drain, reserving marinade.
Heat remaining oil in a large skillet; add chicken pieces.
Cook and stir about 3 minutes or until no longer pink. Stir cornstarch into
reserved marinade. Add to skillet. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly.
Spoon evenly atop bread shell. Sprinkle with Monterey Jack and mozzarella
cheeses.
Bake, uncovered, in a 400° F. oven for 12 minutes. Top with
remaining green onion and nuts. Return to oven for 2 minutes more.
