Garlic Chicken

This is one of my favorite Chinese gravies and its wonderful served with some fried rice or noodles.

The actual recipe calls for deep frying the chicken. But as an healthier alternative I pan roasted one big chicken breast and cut it into chunks. This simplified the dish so much more and it tasted just as great. Hope you like it...
