Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh ginger
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 pieces Green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips approximately 1 inch wide and 3 inches long.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves and ginger. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and ginger. Stir until well combined.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring each piece is coated evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
After marinating, remove the chicken strips from the marinade and reserve the marinade for later use.
Sprinkle the chicken strips with cornstarch and gently toss to coat each piece lightly.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken strips in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through.
While the chicken cooks, transfer the reserved marinade to a small saucepan. Heat it over medium-low heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. This will serve as a dipping or drizzling sauce.
Remove the chicken strips from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Sprinkle the cooked chicken strips with salt and pepper to taste.
If desired, garnish with sliced green onions for added color and flavor.
Serve the Garlic Ginger Chicken Strips warm with the heated marinade sauce on the side or drizzled on top. Enjoy!
