Description

A comforting and flavorful dish featuring tender chicken marinated in soy sauce, garlic, and ginger, served with fresh scallions.


Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken (boneless, skinless breasts or thighs)
  • 4 scallions (chopped)
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 inch ginger (grated)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooked rice (for serving)


Instructions

  1. Mix soy sauce, vegetable oil, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  2. Marinate the chicken in this mixture for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a bit of oil.
  4. Sear the chicken until fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes on each side.
  5. Add the chopped scallions and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  6. Serve warm over cooked rice.

Notes

For a twist, try using chicken thighs instead of breasts for more tenderness. Adding vegetables like bell peppers can enhance nutrition and color.
