Celery Chicken Recipe

CELERY CHICKEN

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup chicken broth

• 1/2 cup coconut aminos

• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

• 2 teaspoons fish sauce

• 2 teaspoons black pepper

• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

For the chicken, you'll want:

• 2 lbs chicken breast

• 1/2 cup vegetable oil

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

• 2 tablespoons flour

• 4 celery stalks, cut into 1-inch pieces

• 1 white onion, diced

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

Method

Whisk the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl and set it aside.

Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and cover them with parchment paper. Pound them to an even thickness with a meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy skillet, then cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces.

Add the chicken to a medium bowl with 2 teaspoons of oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat, then add the flour and mix until each piece is lightly covered.

Heat the remaining 1/4 cup of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer, working in batches if needed. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate.

Add the celery and onion to the same skillet. Cook for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Return the chicken to the skillet and pour in the sauce. Stir everything together and bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and vegetables.

Taste and add more salt if needed before serving.
