And I’m back to the kitchen after a looong vacation and damn it feels soooo good!
Made one of my favorite weekend classics, Salt and Pepper Chicken today and it turned out pretty amazing
Simple flavours, exceptional taste
Served with a side of Schezwan Chutney coz “Some like it Hot 🔥”
Let’s get to it!
You’ll need:
450 gms boneless chicken breast/thighs cut into bite sized pieces
Chicken marinade – ½ tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, 1 tsp garlic paste, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp Chinese 5 spice (optional but recommended)
1 cup corn starch/flour for coating
Oil for frying
½ cup julienned onion
½ cup julienned green pepper
1 tbsp minced garlic
2-3 dry red chillies
Extra salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp butter
Extra oil for stir fry
Instructions:
Marinade the chicken pieces in the listed ingredients for 30 mins
In a plate lay the corn starch and coat the marinated chicken pieces on all sides
In a frying pan, heat oil on medium heat and fry the coated chicken pieces until golden brown flipping both sides
Set aside in a plate lined with kitchen towel to soak up any extra oil
Now let’s prep the stir fry. In a wok/pan, add 1 tbsp oil and 1 tbsp butter on medium heat
Add minced garlic, sliced dry red chillies and let them sizzle
Now add onions, green pepper, salt and pepper and toss for about a minute
Add the fried chicken, mix together gently and serve hot!! Garnish with sesame seeds (optional)
