Description
A flavorful dish featuring tender chicken, fresh jalapenos, and a savory sauce, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces boneless skinless chicken thighs (or breasts)
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons oil (divided)
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 1 medium onion (cut into squares)
- 2 jalapenos (sliced)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the chicken marinade ingredients. Massage the meat with your hands for 20 seconds. Transfer the chicken to the fridge and let it marinate for at least one hour.
- In a small bowl, mix the sauce ingredients.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Spread the chicken in a single layer and cook for 1 minute without stirring. Flip the chicken and cook for another 1 minute. Break up the chicken pieces, cooking until 90% done, about another 30 seconds. Remove to a plate.
- Lower the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Toss in garlic and onions and cook for about 30 seconds. Add the sliced jalapenos and cook for another 2 minutes. Return the chicken to the wok and stir everything together.
- Finally, add the sauce mixture to the pan, mix well and cook for about 1 minute. Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy!
Notes
For a spicy alternative, add crushed red pepper to the sauce. For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken with tofu or seitan.
