Orgo-Life the new way to the future Advertising by AdpathwayThis hoisin chicken recipe is as quick as it is delicious! Tender chicken pieces are smothered in a sweet and sticky hoisin sauce.
- Ingredient Tip: Hoisin sauce is a Chinese sauce made from fermented soybean. It is sweet, salty, and has lots of umami (savory flavor). It’s delicious!
- Swaps: Use either chicken thighs or thin chicken cutlets in this recipe.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve it over rice with some green beans or steamed veggies.
- Time-Saving Tip: Serve this chicken with pre-cooked or microwaveable rice packets to save time.
- Freezing: The chicken and sauce freeze beautifully, so you can always have a quick meal.
Ingredient Tips For Hoisin Chicken
- Chicken: I love this recipe with chicken thighs as they’re more forgiving and juicy. Boneless skinless chicken breast cutlets will work too, adjust the cooking time as needed.
- Sauce: Hoisin sauce has a sweet and salty flavor. Rice vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame oil round out the sauce.
- Variations: Make it spicy with a dash or two of sriracha, red pepper flakes, or ginger. Stir in a bag of peas and carrots, bell peppers, broccoli florets, or sliced zucchini in Step 5 to bulk up the dish.
