How to Make Asian Garlic Chicken
- 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.
- 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).
- Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add chicken breasts to the skillet and sauté until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.
- Pour the vinegar mixture over the chicken.
- Add 2 bay leaves to the skillet.
- 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).
- Using tongs, carefully transfer the chicken to a plate.
- Bring the pan juices to a boil over medium heat and cook for 2 minutes to slightly reduce and thicken the sauce.
- Season the sauce to taste with salt.
- Remove the bay leaves. Spoon the sauce over the chicken.
- Serve immediately over rice or noodles.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
