My healthy version of the classic Chinese dish salt & pepper chicken.

Instead of using deep fried chicken, this recipe is made with pan seared chicken bites. 

I love the salt & pepper chicken at my local Chinese restaurant. But I wanted something that was healthier and to cut back on fried foods. So, I decided to pan fry some boneless chicken breast and cook them up to my liking. Creating my version of salt & pepper chicken. This chicken is so flavorful and juicy, pan seared to perfection. I love to pair this dish with my egg fried rice. Sometimes I’ll toss in egg rolls or dumplings and make it a more fulfilling meal. This dish is pure perfection; you will love the taste- it’s so good!
