How to Make Asian Skillet Chicken

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces. Brown the chicken on both sides for about 5-7 minutes, then transfer to a plate.
  3. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of oil from the skillet. Add 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon minced ginger, and 2 green onions, thinly sliced. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Return the chicken to the skillet. Add 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1/4 cup soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon sesame oil.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  6. Serve the Asian Skillet Chicken hot over steamed rice. Garnish with extra green onions, if desired.
