Ingredients
  • 1 boneless Chicken Breast
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 tbl cornstarch
  • 1 tbl soy sauce
  • 1 red pepper
  • 1 crown broccoli

  • 2 tbl dry sherry
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 1 tbl sugar
  • 2 tsp vinegar

  • Directions

    Slice chicken in to bite sized chunks. Mince garlic. Add both to a bowl along with cornstarch and soy sauce and marinate for several hours.

    Slice red pepper, broccoli, celery and onion into similar bite-sized pieces so that they may cook evenly.

    Mix sherry, soy sauce, sugar and vinegar in a bowl For this recipe, I also added a tablespoon of cornstarch to help aid the thickening of the sauce.

    Fry vegetables one at a time, 1-2 minutes until lightly cooked. Add oil as necessary. Place vegetables on a plate to reserve.

    When vegetables have all been lightly cooked, add 1 tbl oil to pan. Heat and add crushed red pepper. Fry until pepper is black, about 30 seconds. Add chicken mixture, cook for 2 minutes. Add vegetables, and liquid and cook for another 3 minutes. Serve over rice.
