Ingredients

• 500 grams skinless chicken breast
• 100 ml low sodium soy sauce
• 1 large onion
• 3 units garlic cloves
• 1 inch piece ginger
• 1 large tomato
• 2 units green chili
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 200 ml water
• 1 unit cooking oil spray
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion, garlic, and ginger. Dice the tomato and slice the green chilies.

Step 3

In a large non-stick frying pan, apply a light spray of cooking oil. Heat over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger to the pan. Sauté until the onions are translucent and the mixture is fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Add the sliced chicken pieces to the pan. Stir-fry them until they begin to brown on the outside, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Add the diced tomato and green chilies to the chicken. Stir everything together well.

Step 7

In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in water. Add the low sodium soy sauce, sugar, black pepper, and salt to the mixture. Mix until well combined.

Step 8

Pour the soy sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables. Stir to coat the chicken evenly.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pan, and allow the chicken to cook through, about 15 minutes.

Step 10

Uncover the pan and increase the heat for a minute or two, stirring occasionally, to thicken the sauce to your desired consistency.

Step 11

Serve hot with steamed rice or your choice of sides.
