EMPRESS CHICKEN

Empress chicken was my favorite thing to order at the local chinese restaurant. They switched over to "fast food" chinese, and this dish got lost in the translation! I found this recipe online, and it's very close to my beloved dish! Great over rice. NOTE: The amount of cornstarch has been adjusted based upon reviewers' comments.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of chicken: For the best results, use a boneless, skinless chicken breast or thigh. These cuts are lean and cook quickly, making them ideal for a busy weeknight meal.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of herbs, spices, and oil will help to flavor the meat and keep it moist during cooking. You can marinate the chicken for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Cook the chicken properly: Be sure to cook the chicken to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that the chicken is safe to eat and that it is cooked through.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken, be sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will make it more difficult to get a good sear.
  • Serve the chicken with a flavorful sauce: A flavorful sauce can help to take your chicken dish to the next level. Try serving the chicken with a lemon-herb sauce, a creamy mushroom sauce, or a sweet and sour sauce.

Conclusion:

Using the tips above, you can easily impress your boss with a delicious and flavorful chicken dish. Whether you are cooking for a special occasion or just a weeknight meal, these recipes are sure to please everyone at the table.
