Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup scallions chopped (both white and green parts)
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger minced
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooked rice or noodles for serving

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the chopped scallions, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Return the chicken to the skillet and add the chicken broth, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Serve the scallion chicken over cooked rice or noodles.
