This recipe works best using a regular frying pan, not a nonstick pan. Makes 2 servings of one small chicken breast.
Sear two small chicken breast in 1 tbsp. of peanut oil over medium-high heat. Getting a bit of a crust on the pan is a good thing. Set chicken aside and keep warm.
Add remaining ingredients except cornstarch to pan. Scrape the crust off the pan and mix all ingredients thoroughly. Simmer for about 5 minutes to meld flavors, then add cornstarch. Stir till cornstarch is thoroughly mixed in and sauce reaches desired consistency. Serve immediately over chicken.
