Description

In my house, I often hear the phrase, "I'm craving Chinese take-out!" So, I figured, let's put that griddle to use and make it at home. It's easy to make, and to make a lot of so invite the whole crew over!

Ingredients
  • 1 lb chicken breast (cubed)
  • 2 bell peppers (roughly chopped)
  • 1 yellow onion (roughly chopped)
  • 5-6 oz sweet chili sauce
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • oil (for frying)
Instructions
  1. 1

    In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. In a medium bowl, whisk 2 eggs.

  2. 2

    Add the cubed chicken pieces to the flour mixture and coat thoroughly. 

  3. 3

    Heat oil on one side of the griddle to 350˚F. Set aside a wire rack and slotted spoon or mesh strainer.

  4. 4

    Dip chicken cubes into egg mixture and then add the chicken to the hot oil in batches, frying for 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove to the rack with a slotted spoon and repeat for remaining chicken.

  5. 5

    Heat the other side of the griddle to medium-high heat. Add the tablespoon of oil, onion and bell peppers and sauté for 2-4 minutes until slightly softened.

  6. 6

    Pour the sweet chili sauce over the onions and peppers. 

  7. 7

    Add the cooked chicken to the onions and peppers and toss all ingredients together to thoroughly coat with sauce. 

  8. 8

    Remove from the griddle and serve over rice (if desired).
