Recipe for Chinese Walnuts Chicken?

I've seen two other people ask for this recipe on here, but I don't think the answers they got were for the same thing I'm talking about.



It's in a white, creamy (maybe mayonaise) sauce.



The kinds I've had at Chinese restraunts don't actually have walnuts in it.Recipe for Chinese Walnuts Chicken?

While waiting; in a small bowl combine the ginger with the reduced sodium chicken broth, and the remaining low-sodium soy sauce. Set aside.



In a large skillet (or Wok), heat the remaining walnut oil over medium high-heat, when hot, but not smoking, add the chicken (discard all remaining marinade), cook until chicken is no longer pink.
