Chicken breast is a quintessential diet food! Let’s explore a more delicious way to enjoy it. This recipe offers a light yet satisfying meal, packed with flavor and nutrients. Perfect for a healthy and tasty meal.
Main Ingredients- 1 pack Smoked Chicken Breast
- 1/2 Onion
- 1 bunch Spinach
- 3 Cherry Tomatoes
- A handful of Chives
Seasoning & Spices- Pinch of Salt
- Pinch of Black Pepper
- 1/3 Tbsp Dried Cheongyang Pepper (add more for extra spice)
- Pinch of Salt
- Pinch of Black Pepper
- 1/3 Tbsp Dried Cheongyang Pepper (add more for extra spice)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thinly slice the onion. Heat 1-2 tablespoons of perilla oil (deulgireum) in a pan over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onions and stir-fry gently until they become translucent. The key is to cook them slowly to infuse the nutty aroma of the perilla oil.
Step 2
Once the onions are sufficiently stir-fried, add the washed spinach and cook just until it wilts slightly. Spinach can become mushy if overcooked, so aim for a light stir-fry where it gets coated with the oil.
Step 3
Now, add the cherry tomatoes for a pop of color and stir-fry them together. Cook until the cherry tomatoes soften slightly and release their sweetness.
Step 4
Slice the smoked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Add the sliced chicken breast to the heated pan and quickly stir-fry, mixing well with all the other ingredients. Since it’s smoked chicken breast, you just need to warm it through rather than cook it from raw. Stir-fry briskly to combine everything.
Step 5
A touch of spiciness is essential for a diet meal! Crumble in a good amount of dried Cheongyang pepper according to your preference. The spicy kick cuts through any richness and enhances your appetite. Feel free to add more if you enjoy a spicier dish.
Step 6
Finally, it’s time to season. Add a pinch of salt and a pinch of black pepper to adjust the overall flavor. Remember that smoked chicken breast often has its own seasoning, so taste as you go and adjust accordingly.
Step 7
Almost done! I remembered I had some chives in the freezer. Adding them in and stir-frying for just a moment will significantly enhance the aroma. Finish with a tiny drizzle of sesame oil for an extra nutty fragrance, completing your delicious stir-fried chicken breast and vegetables. Enjoy it warm immediately!
