Chinese Boneless Chicken & Blackbean

Chinese Chicken & Blackbean

Chinese chicken & black beans is another popular Chinese stir fry that is full of flavor. The most authentic way to cook this is using the Chinese fermented black beans of course along with minced garlic, ginger and a few other seasonings to get the perfect authentic flavor. If you don’t have the fermented black beans, bean sauce can be used as well but I definitely prefer the black beans.

Ingredients for Chinese Chicken & Blackbean

• Boneless Chicken – My preference is thighs because the meat is softer when finished, but boneless breasts may be used as well.
• Chinese Fermented Black Beans – Usually found in an Asian grocery store. 
• Chinese Rice Wine Vinegar – may substitute with Apple Cider Vinegar.
• Garlic
• Ginger
• Garlic Salt
• Seasoned Salt
• Hoisin Sauce
• Oyster Sauce
• Dark or Mushroom Soy Sauce
• Light Soy Sauce
• Sugar
• Oil
• Sesame Oil
• Onions
• Sweet Bell Pepper
• * Optional Vegetable of choice – I like snow peas, or carrot strings and broccoli are good as well.
• * Optional Hot Pepper – In Jamaica we would use Scotch Bonnet Pepper.

Preparation for Chinese Chicken & Blackbean

*This post may have affiliate links. Read my disclaimer here.

1. First, wash and cut out fatty pieces of boneless thighs and cut into small pieces.
2. I like to actually soak my black beans in some rice wine vinegar for about 15 minutes to 30 minutes and then cut up the black beans.
3. Then you combine it with all the other seasonings to the chicken in a seasoning bowl to marinate for at least 2 hours.
4. Cut up and prepare your vegetables of choice, some people  also like to add spice to this such as minced scotch bonnet pepper, but any will work.
5. When ready to cook, I recommend a wok or if not, a large non-stick skillet, heat on high and add oil. Wait until hot to add the chicken.
6. Stir fry the chicken a few minutes until no longer pink.
7.   You can just add onions and sweet bell pepper or any other vegetable you like. As you can see, I added snow peas in the one pictured here.
8. When cooked, place in a nice serving dish especially for special occasions. Hope you enjoy!
