I recently re-introduced chicken in to my diet. I had given up chicken about 2 years ago and gone to a largely vegetarian diet. However, I've decided to reintroduce chicken as a protein option because I was eating way too many beans for protein, really upping my carb intake.
So this was the first recipe I made that I decided to eat chicken with again in a LONG time. And oh my goodness it was so tasty and good and I can't wait to make it again. The chicken was so tender and moist and the flavors were wonderfully blended - the perfect Asian cuisine that wasn't a fried chicken recipe!
I served this with some rice and sauteed asparagus - truly wonderful dinner!
Thanks to BlogChef for another truly outstanding recipe!
Chicken in Garlic Sauce
Ingredients:
1lb boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1” chunks)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
¼ cup soy sauce
¼ cup water
¼ cup honey
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (divided)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes - I use Siracha
1 head fresh broccoli (cut into florets)
In a bowl combine garlic, soy sauce, water, honey, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, cornstarch, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Mix well. Stir chicken into the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. - Um, I didn't read this part of the recipe - I let it marinate for about 30 minutes and it was still delicious!
In a large wok or skillet, heat remaining tablespoon of oil over medium high heat. With a slotted spoon remove the chicken from the marinade and add to the wok or fry pan (reserve the marinade). Stir fry chicken for 3 minutes. Add broccoli and stir fry for an addition 2 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.
Add the reserved marinade to the wok or fry pan and cook until thickened.
