Provided by Judith Fraser

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb boneless chicken breast
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon sugar
2 green peppers, sliced
1/2 lb mushroom, sliced
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon sherry wine or 1 tablespoon wine
4 tablespoons oil

Steps:

  • Cut chicken breast into 1 inch pieces combine soy sauce, sherry, cornstarch, garlic and sugar.
  • Put chicken pieces into the mixture and refrigerate for an hour or two.
  • When ready cook peppers and mushrooms in 1 tablespoon oil.
  • Remove from skillet and cook chicken pieces in 3 tablespoon oil.
  • When the chicken is cooked, add water to it and stir to thicken.
  • Return vegetables to the chicken in skillet and serve in Pita pockets or with rice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts work best for this recipe, as they are tender and juicy. If you use chicken breasts, be sure to pound them thin so they cook evenly.
  • Use a good quality soy sauce. The better the soy sauce, the better the chicken will taste. Look for a Japanese or Chinese soy sauce that has a deep, rich flavor.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is best when it is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Let the chicken rest before slicing. Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Soy sauce marinated chicken is a simple but delicious dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal, or it can be served as part of a larger spread. The chicken can be cooked in a variety of ways, including grilling, baking, or stir-frying. No matter how you choose to cook it, soy sauce marinated chicken is sure to be a hit.
