Szechaun Chicken Recipe

July 16, 2012

I am always looking for great recipes that are easy, but the boys and hubby will love. One of the things on our summer to do list was to eat something out of our garden. We are growing some green onions, so I wanted something with green onions in it that I could make. My oldest son ate this solely for the fact that it had onions from our garden! He hates onions (or so he says, he eats them when he doesn’t realize they are there LOL)

I found this recipe HERE

Ingredients

4 each chicken breasts halves, boneless and skinless

1 1/2 tablespoon vinegar white wine or rice wine (I used regular vinegar because it was what I had on hand)

3 tablespoons cornstarch

1 teaspoon sugar

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1/4 cup water

3 each garlic cloves minced

6 each scallions, spring or green onions cut into 1 inch pieces (I used fresh green onions from our garden)

5 tablespoons soy sauce (low salt)

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper or to taste

Directions

Cut chicken into cubes.

Lightly toss with cornstarch in bag to coat. Heat oil in skillet or wok, medium-high heat.

Stir-fry chicken and garlic until lightly browned.

Add soy sauce, vinegar, sugar and water.
Cover and cook 3 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.

Add green onions and cayenne; cook uncovered about 2 minutes longer.
