Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 4 scallions, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt, to taste
  • Optional garnish: sesame seeds and additional scallions

Instructions

To create the scrumptious Scallion Chicken Chops, follow these simple steps:

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Begin by rinsing the chicken under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels and place in a mixing bowl.
  2. Make the Marinade: In a separate bowl, mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, black pepper, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Marinate the Chicken: Pour the marinade over the chicken and ensure each piece is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, but longer is better for flavor.
  4. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.
  5. Cook the Chicken: Add the marinated chicken thighs to the skillet, cooking for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Add Scallions: In the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, add the chopped scallions to the pan. Stir to combine with the chicken for a minute until they wilt slightly.
  7. Finish Cooking: Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat.
  8. Let it Rest: Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing. This ensures juiciness.
  9. Slice and Serve: Cut the chicken into strips for serving, drizzling any leftover sauce from the pan over the top.
  10. Garnish: For an extra touch, sprinkle sesame seeds and a few extra scallions on top before serving.
