Salad Dressing Chicken


This is a simple and easy East-meet-West recipe. Using salad dressing to marinate chicken, it makes the chicken so tender and juicy. I used Sweet Vidalia Onion salad dressing here. You may substitute with any other salad dressing that you have in our refrigerator. I also didn't measure all seasonings by spoons, just feel free to add little at a time until you like the taste. They may taste sweeter by adding more sugar, or spicy by adding some hot pepper, or dark brown color by adding more dark soy sauce, etc...everyone may create your unique taste...and that's fun part of cooking!
Here is what I did...

Simple ingredients:
  • 4 pieces of boneless and skinless chicken, cut into 1/4-inch slices
  • Sweet Vidalia Onion salad dressing, enough to marinate (about 2-3 Tbsp.)
  • Salt and ground black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp. corn starch
  • 2 Tbsp. flour
  • 2 Tbsp. cooking oil
  • 2 Tbsp. Sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. Soy sauce
Easy to make:
  1. In a medium bowl, combine chicken piece, salad dressing, pinch of salt and ground pepper together. (Chopped ginger, onion, garlic and cooking wine are optional). Marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  2. Remove from the refrigerator, add corn starch and flour, mix until all chicken pieces are coated.
  3. In a wok or large saucepan, heat cooking oil on medium high, add chicken and brown all sides until chicken are fully cooked. Then add equal amount of soy sauce and sugar, stir fry until sauce well blend. Sprinkle pinch of salt if necessary. Serve with steamed rice.
