Soy Garlic Chicken is a simple Asian inspired recipe where chicken thighs pieces are cooked into delicious and super flavorful soy sauce, chicken thighs are my favorite part of the chicken because of the juiciness. With just a handful ingredients this is the best garlic soy chicken recipe. You can adjust the garlic according to your taste. I also added some grated ginger too.

For Gravy :-

Heat 1.5 tbsp of veg oil in a non-stick pan. Add minced ginger & garlic to the pan and stir for 1-2 mins on medium flame

Next add sliced mushrooms + capsicum to the pan and sauté for another 1-2 mins

Add the marinated chicken to the pan. Mix well and cook for 7-8 mins on low-medium flame. Stir continuously for even cooking & to avoid burning

Once the chicken starts releasing water & turns light brown from outside, add the prepared marinade to the pan and mix well. Cook for another 3-4 mins. When the gravy thickens and chicken is cooked properly, switch off the gas.

Garnish with some roasted peanuts & serve hot:)
