When it comes to Chinese food, every variation is a staple in my house. The sweet, spicy and saltiness this dish gives is a true delight. By marinating the chicken in baking soda for 30 minutes prior to preparing, it will allow you to experience the true tenderness of authentic Chinese food.
Ingredients:
Chicken marinade
5 chicken breast cubed
1/3 cup pineapple marinade
