Creating delicious Chinese Scallion Chicken at home is simple. Here’s how to do it:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips. This helps them cook evenly and quickly.
2. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well and let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
4. Add Aromatics: Stir in the garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Cook the Chicken: Add the marinated chicken to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned.
6. Add Scallions: Toss in the white parts of the scallions and stir-fry for an additional minute.
7. Season: Season with salt and pepper to taste, and drizzle a little sesame oil if desired for extra flavor.
8. Finish: Remove from heat and stir in the green parts of the scallions just before serving to keep their vibrant color.
9. Serve: Plate the Chinese Scallion Chicken over rice or noodles, garnished with more scallions if desired.

By following these straightforward steps, you’ll end up with a fantastic meal that everyone will love!
