Ingredients
- For chicken:
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1/2 cup corn starch
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 pounds chicken thighs (boneless and skinless) cut into bite size pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- green onions to garnish
- Sauce:
- 1 cup low sodium chicken broth
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons ginger grated
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tsp chile garlic sauce (add more if you want a spicier sauce)
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds to garnish
Instructions
- Combine all sauce ingredients in a medium saucepan, whisk and set aside.
- Place eggs, salt and pepper in a bowl and lightly beat. Place flour, 1/2 cup corn starch, salt and pepper in a shallow dish and whisk.
- Dip each chicken piece into egg mixture and then flour mixture. Repeat until all chicken pieces have been coated. Set aside.
- Preheat a skillet. Add olive oil and pan fry chicken until nicely golden brown.
- While chicken is cooking, cook the sauce on low for 3 to 4 minutes. The sauce will thicken rather quickly, so continue to whisk. Remove from heat once sauce begins to thicken.
