Ingredients

• 2 pieces chicken breast
• 6 cloves garlic
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 2 stalks green onions
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by slicing the chicken breasts into thin strips. Season them with salt and black pepper and set aside.

Step 2

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Slice the green onions into thin rounds, separating the white and green parts. Grate the ginger and set all aromatics aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, rice vinegar, chicken broth, and sugar. In another small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Set both mixtures aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook for 4-5 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the pan. Lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and the white parts of the green onions. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 6

Pour the soy sauce mixture into the pan and bring it to a simmer. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens.

Step 7

Return the cooked chicken to the pan and toss to coat it evenly with the garlic sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat the chicken through.

Step 8

Remove the pan from the heat. Garnish with the green parts of the green onions and serve immediately over steamed rice or with your choice of side.
