How to Make Asian Garlic Chicken

  1. Whisk together 1/4 cup rice vinegar, 1/2 cup chicken broth, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup soy sauce, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a small bowl.
  2. Season both sides of 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total) with 1 teaspoon of your favorite Asian seasoning mix (e.g., Five Spice, Chinese Seasoning).
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add chicken breasts to the skillet and sauté until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.
  5. Pour the vinegar mixture over the chicken.
  6. Add 2 bay leaves to the skillet.
  7. Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 10-15 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  8. Using tongs, carefully transfer the chicken to a plate.
  9. Bring the pan juices to a boil over medium heat and cook for 2 minutes to slightly reduce and thicken the sauce.
  10. Season the sauce to taste with salt.
  11. Remove the bay leaves. Spoon the sauce over the chicken.
  12. Serve immediately over rice or noodles.
