Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 6 cloves garlic
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by slicing the chicken breasts into thin strips. Season them with salt and black pepper and set aside.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Slice the green onions into thin rounds, separating the white and green parts. Grate the ginger and set all aromatics aside.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, rice vinegar, chicken broth, and sugar. In another small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Set both mixtures aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook for 4-5 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the pan. Lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and the white parts of the green onions. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Pour the soy sauce mixture into the pan and bring it to a simmer. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens.
Return the cooked chicken to the pan and toss to coat it evenly with the garlic sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat the chicken through.
Remove the pan from the heat. Garnish with the green parts of the green onions and serve immediately over steamed rice or with your choice of side.
