Chicken Broth – again I prefer to use a low sodium or no sodium added chicken broth.Cornstarch – this is used to thicken the sauce.You need this brown sugar to balance out the flavors. Brown Sugar – this is where the sweetness comes from in this dish.Soy Sauce – I always buy the low sodium kind, and because even low sodium soy sauce is quite salty, it’s not necessary to add any additional salt to this dish.Garlic and Ginger – this is where a lot of the flavor comes from.Red Dried Chilies – these pack a little bit of heat, not as much as you’d think.Cornstarch – this will help crisp up the chicken while frying.It’s great either way, all depends on if you love white meat or dark meat. Chicken – I’ve made this chicken dish with both boneless skinless chicken breasts and chicken thighs.

So for those of you preferring chicken over beef, let’s get to it! Ingredient Notes For Mongolian Chicken This chicken recipe is crispy, salty, sweet and spicy. This recipe is a little bit different than its beef counterpart but still just as mouthwateringly yummy. It’s a favorite here which is why I also make it with chicken. It consists of slices of beef, typically flanks steak, then stir-fried with vegetables in a savory brown sauce. The popular dish is Mongolian Beef which really isn’t Mongolian but a Chinese-American dish popular in restaurants. This is a hassle free, low effort, no fail recipe that yields an incredibly delicious and comforting chicken dish with a super yummy sauce. Also I used skinless boneless chicken breast but chicken thighs can be used as well. Usually it’s made with beef but I wanted to make this dish with chicken so chicken it is. Nonetheless, this dish is so good, you won’t be disappointed if you try it. Mongolian simply implies that this is an exotic dish.

Although the name of this dish is Mongolian Chicken, none of the ingredients or method of preparation are really Mongolian.
