3 Cup Chicken – A Super Quick Dinner Idea!

This recipe is a simple stewed chicken dish called Three Teacup Chicken. The name comes from the basic preparation where a teacup is traditionally used to measure the three main ingredients of the stewing liquid: sugar soy sauce and rice vinegar.

This braising liquid and a generous amount of garlic ginger and scallions create a dish that is sweet salty sour and savory (combining many flavors in one dish is the key to successful Chinese cooking). If you like you can add Sichuan peppercorns and star anise to develop more depth of flavor and a pleasant tingling heat.

1/4 cup soy sauce (use gluten-free soy sauce for the gluten-free version)
