Stir-fried Chicken with White Mushrooms

I have made many recipes about chicken breast. A piece of chicken breast in the kitchen can have endless possibilities after cooking. You can cook it in any cooking method. Today I will make stir-fried chicken with white mushrooms. I also use a lot of garlic, so this dish has a strong garlic flavor.

Stir-fried chicken with white mushrooms is a low carbohydrate dish, high in protein, vitamin A, and potassium.

Tips for cooking stir-fried chicken with mushrooms

We will give the chicken breast a simple slippery-coating marinade before cooking. First, add salt and white pepper and stir well. This makes the chicken breast sticky, then we add dark soy sauce and light soy sauce, which gives the chicken breast a darker color and savory taste. You can decide the amount of seasoning according to your taste. Finally, we add starch, which provides the slippery coat to keep the meat tender and juicy, and thickens the sauce in the later stage of cooking.
