Delicious Asian Chicken Recipe - Easy Chinese Main Course

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 1 lb boneless chicken thighs (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 inch ginger (fresh, grated)
  • 1 cup bell peppers (sliced)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 2 green onions sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch (mixed with 2 tbsp water)
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine chicken, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Let marinate for 30 minutes.

    For best flavor, marinate overnight.
  2. Prepare the Vegetables

    While the chicken marinates, wash and slice the bell peppers and broccoli florets.

    You can use any vegetables you like.
  3. Cook the Chicken

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.

    Avoid overcrowding the skillet for even cooking.
  4. Add Vegetables

    Add the bell peppers and broccoli to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

    Keep the vegetables crisp by not overcooking.
  5. Thicken the Sauce

    Stir in the cornstarch mixture and rice vinegar. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the sauce thickens.

    Stir continuously to prevent lumps.
  6. Serve

    Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot with rice or noodles.

    Pair with steamed rice for a complete meal.
