Sometimes I just crave one of those Korean fried chicken dishes or one of those Chinese chicken dishes that are nicely coated with those beautiful sauces, but most of us know how much sugar or oil is used to make those dishes to obtain the flavour and glossy appearance. So when I have those cravings I often think of another way of making the dish or use different types of ingredients instead of extra oil or sugar to make a dish that will satisfy my craving. In this recipe I will be using the pear sauce I made earlier, to learn how to make the pear sauce recipe please check my previous recipe.
CHICKEN IN PEAR SAUCE
Prep-Time: 10 mins Serve: 4
Cooking Time: 10 mins
Ingredients
2 chicken breast, diced
1/2 cup red lentil flour
Salt and pepper
2 stalk spring onion, chopped
Oil
1 cup pear sauce
Method
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Place the chicken pieces in a sealed bag and then add in the flour. Seal and shake to well coat the chicken with the flour.
Heat oil in a pan over medium high heat, add in the chicken pieces once the oil is heated and brown all sides. Remove the chicken from the pan and pour in the pear sauce into the same pan. Reduce heat to medium and slowly stir the sauce to heat up and thicken.
Return the chicken to the pan, add in salt and pepper to taste and stir to well coat the chicken pieces for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat once the sauce becomes very thick and the chicken is cooked through. Transfer to a serving plate and sprinkle the spring onion on top. Serve with steamed rice.
