Description

Scallion Chicken is a quick and flavorful stir-fry dish that combines tender chicken fillet with fresh scallions and a savory blend of soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Perfect for a speedy weeknight dinner, this recipe delivers a delicious Asian-inspired meal in just 25 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Marinade

  • 2 cups chicken fillet, diced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For Cooking

  • 1 cup scallions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced chicken fillet with soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the chicken and let it marinate briefly to enhance flavors.
  2. Heat the Pan: Place a pan or skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Allow it to warm up to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Add the marinated chicken mixture to the heated pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken pieces are fully cooked and no longer pink inside, about 7-10 minutes depending on size.
  4. Add Scallions: Stir in the chopped scallions and continue cooking for an additional 2 minutes. This step allows the scallions to soften slightly while maintaining their fresh flavor and vibrant color.
  5. Serve: Remove from heat and serve the scallion chicken hot over a bed of steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a splash of sesame oil at the end of cooking.
  • Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste preferences, especially if using a salty soy sauce.
  • You can substitute chicken breast with thigh meat for a juicier result.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick if desired.
  • Make sure not to overcook the scallions to keep their bright color and fresh taste.
