  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 4-5 scallions (green onions), chopped
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
– 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Optional: sesame seeds for garnish


Instructions

Creating delicious Chinese Scallion Chicken is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips. This allows for quick cooking and better absorption of flavors.
2. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken with soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
4. Cook the Chicken: Once the oil is hot, add the marinated chicken to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.
5. Add Aromatics: Add the minced ginger and garlic to the skillet, stirring for another minute until fragrant.
6. Incorporate Scallions: Toss in the chopped scallions and stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes. The scallions should become tender yet still vibrant green.
7. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or soy sauce if needed.
8. Serve: Remove the dish from heat and transfer it to a serving platter. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired.

These steps will guide you in creating this incredible dish effortlessly.
