🌶️ Healthy Chilli Chicken (Dry or Semi-Gravy) Style: Indo-Chinese
🧂 Ingredients:
For the chicken:
300g boneless chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized cubes
1 tbsp cornflour
1 tbsp whole wheat flour or oat flour
1 egg white (optional – helps with coating)
1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
Salt & pepper, to taste
1 tsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 tsp olive oil (for shallow sautéing)
For the sauce & stir-fry:
1 medium onion, diced into large chunks
1 green bell pepper (capsicum), diced
3–4 garlic cloves, minced
1-inch piece ginger, finely chopped or julienned
2 green chilies, sliced
1½ tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp vinegar (apple cider or rice vinegar)
1 tbsp tomato ketchup (look for low-sugar)
1 tsp chili sauce or sriracha (optional for heat)
½ tsp honey or maple syrup (optional for balance)
2 tbsp water
Spring onions, chopped (for garnish)
Salt & black pepper, to taste
🍳 Instructions:
1. Marinate and cook the chicken:
Mix chicken with cornflour, whole wheat flour, egg white (if using), soy sauce, ginger-garlic paste, salt, and pepper.
Let it rest for 15–20 minutes.
Heat 1 tsp oil in a non-stick pan. Sauté the chicken in batches until lightly golden and cooked through. Set aside.
2. Make the sauce:
In a bowl, mix soy sauce, vinegar, ketchup, chili sauce (if using), honey, and water. Adjust spice and sweetness as needed.
3. Stir-fry vegetables:
In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed.
Sauté garlic, ginger, and green chilies for 30 seconds.
Add onions and bell peppers. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes (keep them slightly crunchy).
4. Combine:
Add cooked chicken back to the pan.
Pour in the sauce. Toss everything together on medium-high heat until the sauce coats the chicken (1–2 minutes). Add a splash of water if you want more gravy.
Garnish with spring onions.
✅ Health Tips:
No deep frying: Pan-searing uses less oil and keeps it light.
Use lean meat: Chicken breast is lower in fat than thighs.
Control the sauce: Store-bought sauces are often high in sodium/sugar — make your own or use low-sodium versions.
Add more veggies like broccoli, mushrooms, or snap peas for fiber and volume.
