Description
This delicious ground chicken recipe features a savory sauce that is both sweet and spicy, perfect for serving over rice or noodles.
Ingredients
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 cup diced onion
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
2 pounds ground chicken breast
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Fresh black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup brown sugar
1–2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
1/3 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon of water
Chopped scallions and sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Add the olive oil to a skillet over medium heat. Cook the onion for 3-4 minutes until softened, then add the garlic and cook a minute longer.
- Add the ground chicken to the skillet and cook while breaking up into small pieces until the chicken is cooked through. Drain any drippings from the skillet. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Mix the chili garlic sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil and chicken broth together in a bowl. Pour over the ground chicken and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and then add the cornstarch mixture while stirring.
- Simmer the chicken until the sauce is thickened, taste for seasonings and serve with scallions and sesame seeds.
Notes
Instead of mixing the cornstarch with water, you can add it directly to the sauce mixture. Store leftovers in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
