- Kid-friendly

- Easy recipes
A caramel sauce coats sautéed chunks of boneless chicken in this unique sweet-and-savoury Chinese-style dish. Serve with rice to enjoy with the extra sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 lb (500 g) boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts
- 1 bunch green onions
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (60 mL) low-sodium soy sauce
- 8 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) toasted sesame seeds (optional)
- Pepper and vegetable oil
Preparation
Slice chicken into scant ½-inch (1 cm) thick slices; set aside. Cut green onions into 1-inch (2.5 cm) long pieces.
In saucepan, cook sugar over medium-low heat, shaking pan occasionally but not stirring, until melted and golden brown. Remove pan from heat; pour in soy sauce, averting eyes. Stir until boiling stops; return to heat and boil, stirring, until thick and syrupy, about 1 minute. Stir in ¾ tsp (4 mL) pepper. Remove from heat; set aside.
In wok or skillet, heat 2 tbsp (30 mL) oil over high heat; stir-fry garlic until golden, about 30 seconds. Add chicken and green onions; stir-fry until chicken is no longer pink in centre, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in caramel sauce; stir-fry until chicken is well coated, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds (if using).
