Chicken breasts are seasoned with garlic and chile paste in this easy stir-fry.
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
1 pound boneless, skinless Chicken breasts
Marinade:
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon dry sherry
Other:
4 garlic cloves, finely minced
2 green onions, finely chopped on the diagonal
a few drops sesame oil
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 tablespoon dry sherry
1/4 teaspoon chili paste
Oil for stir-frying
Preparation:
Cut the Chicken into bite-sized cubes. Place in a bowl, mix in the marinade ingredients and marinate for about 20 - 25 minutes.
While the Chicken is marinating, prepare the garlic and green onions. Combine the sesame oil, light soy sauce, sherry and chili paste in a bowl and set aside.
Heat wok and add oil. When oil is ready, add the marinated Chicken. Stir-fry briefly on high heat, then add the garlic and green onion. Add the remaining ingredients and combine (total cooking time should be about 5 minutes). Serve hot with Rice. Serves 4.
Cook's Notes: I make Garlic Chicken at home as a main dish, so the ratio of meat is higher than many Chinese recipes. I like to serve this dish with stir-fried baby corn and Rice, and perhaps a bit of green onion and fresh tomatoes for garnish.
