Stir Fry Chicken in Ginger Sauce!

Once again I was feeling kind of down today about the whole job hunt situation. So once again I dedicated my day to writing and cooking. I wrote an album review for QRO Magazine and decided to cook something a little different. One of my favorite cuisines is Thai cuisine. I find the taste absolutely amazing and appreciate the creativity that goes into it. One of my favorite Thai dishes is stir-fry chicken in ginger sauce, because I am absolutely obsessed with ginger!

I looked up a couple of recipes online and realized that I was missing a lot of the necessary ingredients. So I went on a whim and experimented completely with what I had. And the final product was so delicious! My mom even said it tasted like restaurant style chicken in ginger sauce. So try it and let me know what you think!

My Stir-Fry Chicken in Ginger Sauce

Ingredients:

-2 large pieces of tender boneless chicken breast
-A cup full of baby carrots/sliced in half, julienne style
-A cup full of fresh broccoli
-A cup of red bell pepper/sliced, julienne style
-Minced garlic ( I used it from a jar of fresh minced garlic I bought)
-4 White button mushrooms/sliced
- 1 large onion/chopped in wedges
-fresh ginger/grated
-Oyster sauce
-Soy sauce
-Olive oil
-Water
-Adobo
-Grounded Oregano
-Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. The first step was to season the chicken, I took the two large pieces of boneless chicken breast and sprinkled a little bit adobo seasoning and a little bit of grounded oregano.
2. Then in a large straight-sided skillet I poured about 2 tablespoons of olive oil and allowed it to sizzle a little.
3.Then I added about 2 tablespoons of minced garlic and added about 3 tablespoons full of fresh ginger/grated. I grated it with a box grater on the side with the smallest holes so that the pieces would be finer.
4. Then I added the chopped onions and let it sizzle some more
5. I took the two pieces of seasoned chicken and took a carving knife and cut the pieces of chicken into much smaller pieces.
6. Then I added the pieces of chicken to the skillet.
7. I added the sliced pieces of red pepper, mushrooms, carrots and broccoli.
8. I ended up adding more garlic, but that's because I love the taste of garlic, so that's optional.
9. I added about two tablespoons of oyster sauce
10. Poured some soy sauce to taste and about 1/2 a cup of water so it wouldn't dry.
11. And sprinkled salt and pepper to taste.
12. Once the chicken was well done and the vegetables were tender I brought down the flame!
11. Served best over white or brown rice.
