    • Chicken with Garlic Sauce Chinese

    It's a stir fry marinated chicken prepared with the flavor of garlic, soya sauce, and vinegar. Super delicious in taste and one of the most demanding Chinese takeout dish in a restaurant. Served with rice or noodles.

    What is Chicken With Garlic Sauce Chinese?

    It's a healthy wok fried chicken and veggies recipe cooked with Chinese style garlic sauce prepared with the flavor of soya sauce and cornstarch. Tender and juicy chicken strips with savory garlic sauce is enough to satisfy the meal craving for long time.

    Here I prepare this by slicing 2 chicken breasts.

    You can make this recipe with Chicken wings, thighs, or 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 sauté chicken in light vegetable or olive 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.
