Delicious chicken breast: cooking process
First you need to marinate the chicken. To do this, cut the chicken breast into not very large pieces, put in a bowl and pour over soy sauce. Grate the ginger on a fine grater, add to the chicken, mix and remove, marinate for 1 hour.
Wash, peel and cut the vegetables into equal small cubes.
Pour a little olive oil into a frying pan and fry the almonds in it until golden brown. It is important to ensure that the almonds do not burn.
Transfer the almonds to a plate, fry the vegetables in a skillet over medium heat, add a little more olive oil if necessary. After 5 minutes, the vegetables can be transferred to the bowl with the almonds.
If there is too much soy sauce in a cup of chicken, you need to drain the excess, leaving literally a couple of tablespoons. Then fry the chicken breast in a pan for 2-3 minutes on both sides. Add vegetables and almonds, stir.
Pour in half a glass of broth (water), mix, leave on maximum heat for 5 minutes.
Dissolve cornstarch in half a glass of cold water, stir so that there is not a single lump. Pour slowly into the skillet. Stir, leave on fire for another 5 minutes to thicken the sauce.
The Chinese style breast is ready. You can immediately serve it on the table!
