Stir-Fried Chicken

0

If you have picky eaters in your home, stir fry is a great choice because you can stir fry anything like veggies, meat or chicken OR mix them together as the way they want. My son likes stir fry, but he doesn’t like to mix chicken with veggies together. He likes chicken stir fry, but just chicken, not chicken and veggie mix. That is OK, I can make separate veggie stir fry for him :).

Ingredients (For 3 servings)

Chicken breast, lean- 150 gram

Ginger and garlic, chopped (optional)- 1 Tsp

Turmeric powder- ½ Tsp

Paprika- ½ Tsp

Pepper powder- ½ Tsp

Lemon juice- 2 Tbsp

Olive oil- 1 Tbsp

Salt, to taste

Method 

Step 1: Wash chicken and cut them into medium size pieces.

Step 2: Marinate chicken pieces with ginger, garlic, spices, lemon and salt. Keep it in room temperature for about 20 minutes.

Step 3: Cook chicken without adding water. I use my pressure cooker for cooking chicken by giving two whistles.

Step 4: Now it is time to pull apart chicken to small bite size pieces.

Step 5: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and add chicken pieces. Stir them very well. You can add a pinch of pepper to this. Keep stirring until you get lightly brown colored stir fried chicken. Check for salt. So delicious stir-fried chicken is ready to serve, and the good thing is, they can have it as such.

Ingredients: Chicken, spices, ginger and garlic (optional)

Marinate chicken pieces with all spices ginger, garlic, lemon and salt and cook until chicken cooked very well

Saute chicken in olive oil until they turn brown
