Easy Mongolian Chicken is a quick and delicious dish that combines tender chicken with a sweet and savory sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 green onion, chopped (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)
  • Mixed vegetables (like bell peppers, broccoli, or snap peas, optional)

Instructions

  1. Creating Easy Mongolian Chicken is simple if you follow these clear steps:
  2. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
  3. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir until well blended.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked chicken. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly.
  6. Reduce the heat to medium and let the chicken simmer in the sauce for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  7. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Slowly add this mixture to the skillet, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
  8. If using mixed vegetables, add them to the skillet and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
  9. Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
  10. Transfer the Easy Mongolian Chicken to a serving dish, ready for your family and friends to enjoy.

Notes

  • This dish can be served over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
  • Adjust the sweetness of the sauce by varying the amount of brown sugar.
