GARLIC CHICKEN WITH VEGETABLES



Garlic Chicken With Vegetables image

Garlic adds a lot of flavor to this dish. The long cooking mellows the garlic out and adds a lot of flavor to the chicken and vegetables. This recipe can be made ahead of time and baked later. I often add additional seasonings like black pepper, onions, etc. depending on my mood.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for vegetables that are crisp and brightly colored, and use fresh garlic and ginger.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken and vegetables, make sure to give them enough space so that they can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the food will steam instead of fry, and it won't be as flavorful.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: To check if the chicken is cooked through, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. The internal temperature should read 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Add the vegetables at the end of cooking: This will help them to retain their crispness and flavor.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really brings this dish together. Make sure to use a sauce that is flavorful and has a good balance of sweet, sour, and salty flavors.

Conclusion:

Chinese garlic chicken with vegetables is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is packed with flavor and is sure to please everyone at the table. Next time you are looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give this recipe a try.
