How to make Paleo Chicken Stir-Fry tender and juicy ?

In Chinese stir-fries, there are two ways to make stir-fry chicken breasts tender and juicy.

  1. Use velvet technique that coats thin sliced chicken breasts with white egg and arrowroot powder.Hot water blanch for a few quick seconds before stir-frying. This technique is used in my Paleo Cashew Chicken.
  2. Mix 1 teaspoon (or small amount) of baking soda and arrowroot powder with thin sliced chicken breasts. Mix well and set aside in the fridge for 10-15 mins before stir-frying. The same technique is used in my Paleo Beef with Broccoli.

Ingredients 

Chicken seasonings:

Other Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, matchstick shape
  • 6 garlic cloves, sliced
  • 6-7 bulbs scallions, sliced diagonally (separate white & green parts)
  • 1 to 1 ¼ cups carrots, sliced to matchstick shape (or use shredded carrots)
  • 5-7 oz. fresh shiitake
  • 7-8 cups napa cabbage, diced to about 2-inch sections (separate stems from leafy parts)
  • Small dash of chicken or vegetable broth

Stir-fry Sauce (stir-well with no lumps):

Instructions 

  • Prep: Thin slice chicken breasts and mix well with coconut aminos, arrowroot, baking soda, and salt and pepper. Set aside in the fridge while preparing ingredients listed under “other”. Mix well “Stir-fry sauce” and set aside.
  • Chicken: In a well-heated 12-inch large stainless steel skillet or wok, add 2 tbsp cooking fat of your choice, sear the chicken breasts without disturbing over medium-high heat in one thin layer so to not overcrowd the skillet. Sear until golden brown. Do the same thing for flip side until they are almost cooked through. Cook in separate batches if need be. Set them aside.
  • Combine: Use the same skillet add 2 more tbsp cooking oil. Add garlic, ginger, and white parts of scallions. Season with a pinch of salt and saute until fragrant. Add cabbage stems and carrots. Season with little salt and keep stir-frying until the stems turn slightly softer. Add leafy parts of the cabbage, shiitake, and a dash of broth to lightly deglaze the skillet. Lightly toss the veggies then lower the heat to medium/medium-low and cover with a lid. Cook until the cabbage turns softer but not mushy (about 3-4 mins). Add sauteed chicken and give the stir-fry sauce another stir before adding to the skillet. Toss everything together and serve hot or in room temperature.

Notes

If can’t find napa cabbage, use thin sliced/shredded savoy or green cabbage.
 
If you prefer a thicker sauce texture, after step 3, scoop out the chicken and cabbage, stir-in ½ tsp arrowroot powder with the liquid/sauce over medium/low heat until it thickens. Pour the sauce over chicken and cabbage.
