Cut the chicken breast in half and toss it with all the spices, soy sauce, vinegar, and ketchup. Give it a good mix to coat everything evenly.
Let the chicken marinate for about 2 hours to soak up all those flavors.
Heat some oil in a pan and cook the chicken until it’s nice and golden brown on both sides.
In the same pan, add a little more oil and sauté the vegetables for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
Season with salt, then add the tomatoes and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Once done, turn off the heat and set the veggies aside.
For the sauce, heat some oil in the pan, add the chopped garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the flour and cook it for a minute.
Slowly pour in the milk while stirring, then season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Keep stirring until the sauce thickens nicely.
Serve the juicy chicken with the sautéed veggies and drizzle the white sauce on top. Enjoy!
- Let the meat rest at room temperature before cooking to ensure even cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking; aim for an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Sear on high heat first to lock in juices, then cook on medium heat to finish.
