👥Serves 4 people
We made this jalapeño chicken for our family and they absolutely loved it! I mean why wouldn’t they? It’s the perfect dinner and bursting with flavor. The crispy, pan-fried, bite-sized chicken is coated in a thick, sweet and spicy sauce. Garnish it with with sesame seeds and serve over white rice. It's only 30 minutes and way better than any takeout you'll ever get.
INGREDIENTS
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
¼ cup cornstarch
¼ tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp ground black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
⅓ cup soy sauce
⅓ cup water
⅓ cup light brown sugar
1 tsp sesame oil
2 tsp garlic (minced)
½ yellow onion (diced)
2 large jalapeno peppers
sesame seeds
INSTRUCTIONS
Remove the fat from your chicken and cut the chicken into one-inch pieces.
Combine chicken, cornstarch, salt and pepper evenly in a large mixing bow. Set aside.
Mix water, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and garlic in a medium mixing bowl. Set aside.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the oil once it is heated. Cook the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side or until the chicken is brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove the chicken from the skillet once cooked
In the same skillet, cook diced onions and thinly sliced jalapenos for about 4-6 minutes until softened.
Add in the chicken and sauce mixture you made earlier and stir until mixed. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
