Cashew Chicken with Snow Peas

3/4 lb. skinless, boneless chicken breasts
freshly ground pepper
1/2 lb. fresh snow peas
3 garlic cloves
3 tbsp. peanut oil
1/2 cup salted roasted cashews
1/2 cup chicken broth

Cut chicken into thin strips and season with pepper. Remove stems and strings from snow peas and cut in half diagonally. Finely chop garlic.

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a wok. Add chicken and stir-fry over high heat until cooked through. Remove to a plate. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to wok and stir-fry snow peas over high heat for 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium. Add garlic and cashews and cook, stirring, 1 minute.

Return chicken to pan, add chicken broth and simmer until heated through, about 2 minutes. Serve over rice.
