What You Need
- 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
- 1 cup green onions, sliced
- 4 small dried chilies, seeds removed (thai chilies are good)
Cornstarch slurry
- 1/8 cup soy sauce, low sodium
- 1/2 egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
Sauce
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/8 cup water
- 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/8 cup white vinegar
- 1/8 cup white wine
- 1/4 teaspoon of pepper
- 8 ounces chicken broth
What To Do
Place all “sauce” ingredients in a jar and shake. You can make this the night before – just put it in the fridge 🙂
Slurry – mix all ingredients – if too thick add a small amount of water.
Add chicken pieces to the slurry.
Hot oil to 350 and add chicken ( about 6 pieces at a time) place cooked chicken on a paper towel. Takes about 6 minutes to cook each piece.
In a wok or large pan – heat up oil you want it at about 400. I use grapeseed oil because of the high smoking temp. Add green onions and peppers into the pan and cook for 30 seconds. Add sauce and stir until thick ( like the type in the restaurant ) might take a few minutes.
Add in chicken into the sauce. Cook till the sauce starts to bubble
Enjoy!
