Are you looking to embrace a healthier lifestyle without compromising on taste and satisfaction? Kung Pao Chicken might just be the dish for you. No special cooking skills required, just throw everything in the pan and fry it.
This dish is perfectly suited for meal prepping. Just make one large batch of Kung Pao Chicken and eat for 2-4 days.
Ingredients:
For the marinade:
- 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice wine
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
For the sauce:
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or regular vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 cup of chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon of tomato paste
For the stir-fry:
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup unsalted peanuts
- 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
Adjust the stir-fry vegetables according to your taste. Almost every type of vegetable works well. For this post, we made it with broccoli and carrots. Best served with rice.
