Quick Szechuan Chicken
Ingredients
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into cubes
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 5 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 3 green onions, sliced diagonally into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
Instructions
1
Combine the chicken and cornstarch in a container, mixing well to ensure an even coating.
2
Heat a generous amount of oil in a large cooking vessel over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken pieces and minced garlic, stirring constantly until they are nicely browned on all sides.
3
Introduce the soy sauce, vinegar, sugar and water to the wok or skillet, stirring to combine. Cover the vessel and cook until the chicken is cooked through, typically taking 3-5 minutes.

5
Serve the chicken and sauce over a bed of white rice.
