Easy Sesame Chicken Stir-Fry image

There is no sauce to this recipe, and you may omit the sesame oil if desired, the chicken is still great with just the added soy sauce, but I suggest to increase if you are not using the sesame oil --- unless you have a huge wok you will need to make this in two batches so the chicken will cook evenly --- this is quick and very easy to make, to save time you may slice the breasts up 24 hours in advance --- my family like lots of heat so I most always add in 1 teaspoon crushed chili flakes, do not make this omitting the cornstarch it will not be the same --- all ingredients may be adjusted to taste, serve with cooked rice or noodles :)

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 boneless skinless chicken breasts (sliced into bite-size pieces, about 1-inch or a little larger or cut into strips)
1/4 cup cornstarch

  • Add in HALF of the chicken, then sprinkle with about 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt and black pepper; stir-fry for about 5 minutes or until JUST cooked (do not overcook the chicken, it will cook in very little time, I use 2 smaller heat-proof spatulas for stir-frying).
  • Add in 1 tablespoon (or more) of soy sauce and continue cooking and tossing until coated with the sauce.
  • Remove the wok from heat then drizzle about 1 teaspoon seasme oil over the cooked chicken; toss until very well to combined.
