Whenever I want to make something to serve with fried rice or butter rice then the first idea of this recipe comes to my mind. The unique taste of marinated chicken with garlic brings deliciousness to my table. I love it to make and my family loves to eat.
Traditional & most popular Chinese recipe, Chicken with Garlic Sauce is a quick and easy chicken blended with a flavor of garlic and soya sauce. Mouthwatering dish to serve with rice.
Creamy Garlic Chicken Recipe Chinese
You can make this recipe with Chicken wings, thighs, or breasts.
Here I prepare this by slicing 2 chicken breasts.
Chicken breast slices dipped in soya sauce and vinegar with garlic powder and black pepper give it a significant flavor and aroma while cooking. Then freshly chopped garlic with green chilies makes a perfect combination to saute chicken in light vegetable oil. I used capsicum and onion to neutralize the flavor with chicken but if you want you can add some more options.
In Chinese food or cuisine, the flavor of soya sauce or Sheng Chou (生抽) and vinegar brings a quality taste with the thickness of cornstarch. I personally love it not because of the taste but also love the aroma while cooking.
