How to Make Hot Chicken In Garlic Sauce

  1. Cut 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts lengthwise into 1/4-inch strips.
  2. Set chicken aside.
  3. Pour 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil into a preheated wok or large skillet with sloped sides. Heat at medium-high for 2 minutes.
  4. Add 2-3 Thai chili pepper pods (or to taste), finely chopped, and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Remove chili pepper pods from the wok and set aside.
  6. Add the chicken to the wok and stir-fry for 7 minutes, or until lightly browned.
  7. Remove chicken from the wok, drain well, and set aside.
  8. Add 1 cup chopped celery, 1/2 cup water chestnuts (sliced), 1 cup broccoli florets, 1 cup shredded carrots, 4 cloves minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon minced ginger to the wok. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes.
  9. Add the reserved chili pepper pods and chicken to the wok.
  10. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup dry sherry or chicken broth and 1 tablespoon chili garlic paste.
  11. Add the wine/broth mixture to the wok and stir-fry until thoroughly heated and the sauce has thickened slightly (about 1-2 minutes).
  12. Garnish with 2 green onions, thinly sliced. Serve immediately over hot cooked rice or pasta.
