Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Rinse the fresh chicken breast lightly under running water. Pat it thoroughly dry with paper towels. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to remove any gamey smell and enhance the flavor.
Step 2
Dice the seasoned chicken breast into bite-sized cubes, about 2cm in size. Cubing ensures even cooking and allows the sauce to penetrate the meat well.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add a little cooking oil and swirl the pan to coat the surface evenly with a thin layer of oil. This prevents sticking and helps cook the chicken breast moistly.
Step 4
Add the prepared chicken breast to the skillet and begin to stir-fry. Cook until the surface of the chicken breast turns white.
Step 5
Continue stir-frying over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking. Once the chicken breast is somewhat cooked and the surface has firmed up, proceed to the next step.
Step 6
When the chicken breast is about 70-80% cooked, add 1 Tbsp of butter to the pan. The melting butter will coat the chicken breast with a rich, savory flavor.
Step 7
Once the butter has melted and is well incorporated with the chicken breast, add the finely chopped Cheongyang peppers. Then, add the seasoning ingredients: 1 Tbsp oyster sauce, 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 Tbsp oligosaccharide, and a pinch of pepper. Stir-fry everything together until the sauce evenly coats the chicken breast.
Step 8
Increase the heat to high and stir-fry quickly for 1-2 minutes. This step caramelizes the sauce without burning, giving the ingredients a glossy finish and intensifying the flavors.
Step 9
Turn off the heat. Sprinkle 1 Tbsp of toasted sesame seeds over the stir-fry and mix lightly. Your delicious Cheongyang Pepper Butter Chicken Breast Stir-Fry is ready! Enjoy it while it’s warm.
