This is everyone's favorite over here, maybe yours too.

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs chicken breasts (cubed)
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch 
  • 1 cup flour
  • garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper
  • oil for frying
  • 1-2 cups quinoa (cooked as directed)
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • minced garlic (lots)
  • 7 jalapenos (sliced)

Directions:

  1. Mix together cornstarch, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a medium sized bowl.
  2. To a deep skillet add canola oil, enough for frying. Heat skillet to medium heat.
  3. Toss chicken in flour mixture and add to pan when hot.
  4. Make the quinoa in a saucepan and set aside when done.
  5. In another saucepan, (big enough to add the cooked chicken too), add soy sauce, sugar, water and minced garlic. Bring to a boil until sugar dissolves then turn off.
  6. Once all the chicken is cooked and drained on a paper towel, slice jalapenos and add to hot oil and add the chicken back in. Cook for a few minutes longer, until the jalapenos are tender.
  7. Remove from oil and place in the sauce, toss. 
  8. Fluff the quinoa.
  9. Plate with quinoa on first and then the chicken and jalapeños. Add some extra sauce too!
