Spicy Ginger Chicken

Spicy Ginger Chicken

Looking for an easy spiced up chicken breast recipe?  We always have chicken breasts in the refrigerator/freezer so this was a convenient mid week dinner.  Serve with rice and steamed bok choy for a filling meal.

(modification of original recipe from The Judy Lab)

Serves 4

  • 2 tablespoons Bragg Liquid Aminos or low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha hot chili sauce (adjust to your heat tolerance)
  • 1 tablespoon peeled grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce
  • 2 garlic cloves, grated
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 3 green onions/scallions, chopped (divided)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

In a large mixing bowl, combine the first 7 ingredients (Liquid Aminos through salt) and whisk until well incorporated.  Mix in the chicken and half of the scallions until well coated.

In a large non-stick skillet, heat oil over medium heat.  Cook chicken until golden brown (about 5 minutes).  Add ½ cup water to deglaze the pan and create a sauce (if the sauce is too thick, add up to 1 cup water).  Cook chicken until cooked through (about 10 minutes).

Garnish with remaining chopped scallions.
