Chinese Chicken Breast 1kg

A glazed pack is not a takeaway. Chinese Chicken Breast 1kg is raw chicken breast with a Chinese-style glaze already on it — hot pan, high heat, short cook. It sits on Chinese chicken next to other flavoured breasts, not under plain chicken breasts.

Hot pan, not a gentle simmer

Get the pan properly hot with a thin film of oil. Tip the breast in, keep pieces moving, and do not crowd the pan. Crowding steams the glaze into a sticky mess and leaves the middle pale. Two batches beat one overloaded pan every time.

Cook until the thickest piece is white through — about 6–8 minutes for strips, a touch longer for thicker chunks. Rest off the heat for a minute. Serve with rice or noodles; the glaze is the sauce, so you do not need a jar from the cupboard.

When to pick plain or garlic instead

If you want to season yourself, buy Chicken Breast 1kg. If you want garlic without the Chinese spice, Garlic Chicken Breast 1kg is the sibling pack. Keep Chinese for nights when you want the flavour done for you.

Defrost in the fridge if frozen, dry the surface, then hit the heat. Water on the meat is steam, and steam is why glazed chicken tastes dull. Dry, hot, fast — that is the wok-pan job without owning a wok.
