Friday Special Chicken Schezwan !!

Hello ladies,

What should I cook today is one of the most irritating question we face every day. Am I right?

We have to keep in mind the choice of all the family members. My husband is a very picky eater, he like things that are either traditional dishes or very fancy ones.

So, I thought of making something that everyone loves in our family, the Indian style Chinese food.

I made schezwan sauce at home and served it with veggies and chicken.

I’m sharing one of my favorite recipes today with you, hope you find it worth a try.

For Schezwan sauce:

• 7-8 fresh red chilies (paste)
• 2-3 medium sized tomatoes (not sweet ones and make in paste form)
• 1.5 tea spoon soy sauce
• 1.5 tea spoon white vinegar
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 5-6 garlic clove (paste)
• 2 table spoon olive oil 

For Veggies / Chicken:

• Carrots
• Onions
• Mushrooms
• Baby corn
• Corn
• Broccoli
• Red pepper
• Yellow pepper
• Capsicum
• Green Beans
• Chicken breast ( cut into small pieces )

For Cooking the sauce:

Heat oil in a pan, add the garlic paste. Sauté it for a minute and then add the red chilly paste, tomato paste, salt and pepper. After the oil separates add soy sauce and vinegar. Keep stirring it till it is cooked. You may add red color to add some more color to it (totally optional, I did not).

For Veggies / chicken:

I steamed carrots, baby corn, corns, broccoli and chicken breast and in little oil sautéed the remaining veggies. Do not completely cook, just sauté them for 3-4 minutes.

Once the veggies are steamed and sautéed, mix the schezwan sauce and stir well.

This can be served with steamed rice or noodles.

You may add peri-peri sauce to increase the spice level. Also, do not over steam the chicken breast, we need to keep it juicy and tender.

Hope you found it easy and a solution to one day. So, give it a try this Friday and share your and your family views on the same.
