1-2 - Long Red Chillies, Thinly Sliced

Recipe Notes -
If you can’t consume alcohol, the Shaoxing wine can easily be left out with little flavour loss.
If you’re allergic to peanuts, it’s no issue to not add them.
If you don’t like spice, the chillies can be left out or replaced with milder versions.
As for chicken breast instead of thigh, cook the chicken breast the same way but for only 5 minutes before.

Congrats again to 1 million! This meal looks so good !

[@Icksnuck]

Thanks for the recipe! I just wanted to say thanks again for making easy and tasty recipes that are well balanced. Too many chefs / cooks make bland or overly complicated food, but as someone who loves to eat but wants to be healthy as well these are perfect

[@mtommo78]

Loving your dishes and especially the meal prep - the website is just a blessing, just about to go shopping, the first thing I do is load up your website. Great work and thank you!

[@nsharma99]

Thanks Chef Jack! We all truly appreciate you and your efforts with each and every video.

[@ChefJackOvens]

It’s a pleasure! Thank you 🙏

[@Penfold__]

The rice works perfectly.

[@jacquiemouton9053]

Love your pots... I must say that that chicken does look delicious and you look suitably impressed by the taste. Thanks Jack. X

[@jenniferbellows8941]

Absolutely amazing. It was seriously better than take out. I even bought the birds eye chili and got so excited to find them. I've been trying to stick to my macros and a recipe like this really helps me. Thank you!

[@jahbulonjaja191]

Wd on reaching 1 million subs Jack. Another great recipe. Wife's uncle visiting us on Sunday so I'm rolling out the Tuscan Chicken recipe. I've cooked it many times thanks to your vlogs and it never disappoints 🙂

[@dimasagung1588]

Hi chef, i really like your meal prep series. Would you make a video about some tips to reheat the meal that has been frozen and/or refrigerated? ❤

[@GreverZX]

I love every recipe with the word 'chicken' since I am on a macro diet. Thank you, I now have even more recipe to test! Thanks as always. It is really a pleasure to be able to try these recipes out ❤

[@cruachan1191]

Thanks Jack, this is one of my faves but it's a faff to make with the chicken coated in cornflour and the szechuan pepper (don't know if that's authentic but it's a Ching He Huang recipe I've always used!) so will definitely give this a go.

[@gus4806]

Looking forward to making this tonight! Thanks for the recipe!

[@smitajal9565]

" It's not the end of the world"😅 i really love your videos bec not only you give me awesome recipes but you also put a smile on my face ..Yet another delicious recipe... BTW ,love your new pot and pan....

[@ChefJackOvens]

Much love smita! Thank you 🙏

[@Owlbreeze]

I don't usually comment on videos, but I have to say I love this channel. I get Hello Fresh for me and my partner which covers 5 evening meals a week (which aren't always the same time) and then I also meal prep to have food for lunches at work/just when we need something easy. These ones are usually great! Some aren't to my taste (because preferences are different between people) but some are MAJOR hits! In specifics the Honey Sriracha Chicken and Quick & Easy Pepper Beef Stir Fry - I usually end up subbing some veggies for different ones we prefer, but the actual taste is ALWAYS great! Therefore I am excited to try this and hope it will make it onto my list of things to batch cook for us!

[@RYN988]

This is quality content very clear concise and to the point

Another absolutely delicious recipe meal prep 😋 and all thank you to you my friend Jack! I couldn't resist to taste some of it before I store in the fridge 😂. Definitely will cook it again 😊

[@ChefJackOvens]

Haha awesome! Glad you enjoyed it

[@ChosenLate]

Wow kung pao chicen is one of my favourite Chinese dishes. Thank you for this! 🙏🏻

[@AL-hr9tv]

Jack, great as usual!!

[@wotseeschops]

Oh my days... I batch cooked this yesterday but used brown rice. It tastes flippin' sublime. Ideal for work meals. Healthy and very tasty... 👍

[@ChefJackOvens]

Awesome to hear! Glad you enjoyed it

[@Mr.man712]

Thank you for using the shaoxin wine! I bought it cause of your other recipe

[@_C_3737]

I made this yesterday and it turned out great! I left out the onions, peanuts, alcohol, and used brined chicken breast and olive oil! My boyfriend and I loved it! Might use less ginger next time. 10/10!

Yummo will try this recipe out thanks Chef.😊

It really is delicious. Slight bit of heat and a beautiful flavour and fragrance

[@myriamcarlyle9554]

I am soo making this and I do luv rice. Thanks! 😋

Please enjoy

[@lucaslegz]

Thank you Chef! If you freeze this meal, how would you cook when needed?

[@himesh2006]

Quality Content 👌

[@richardportelli1983]

Very nice, I would replace the rice with califlower rice or other veg to bring the calories down to around 500 per serving if you are on a calorie deficit.

[@benjiblaakilde2456]

When are we getting more from the meal prep series? I love these videoes! 😍

[@ChefJackOvens]

Coming soon. Got so much on my plate right now it’s hard to keep up with everything

[@Doingmybest700]

Best channel ever!! Do you have a link to your pots and pans? I tried checking your amazon storefront but I couldn’t find them :(

[@NanaCooking.]

Thanks , Delicious 😍😘

[@ChefJackOvens]

So good 😊

[@tommir97]

Which size of container do you use? And thanks for all the great recipes 😋

[@Florian-rn4lw]

Hey man, love your prep meal video's! I'm quite new to this so perhaps this may sound like a stupid question, but how do you reheat the meal? I've been using a microwave but it makes the chicken quite dry. I have no idea what the best way is (microwave, oven, stovetop or something else). And how do I need to remoisturize the meal? I may be stupid, but perhaps a kind of detailed guide would be useful. Are there any tricks to it? Thank you in advance!

[@daezdaniel]

great video as always! What is the big pan/pot you are using?

[@db_shayne]

awesome video! do you think its possible to meal prep chicken al pastor? if so, it would be a great video!

[@kleptosepto1848]

I noticed you mentioned "yes im using rice again". I'm guessing some people complained? This is a MEAL PREP. Meal preps generally HAVE RICE IN THEM.

[@MrKaxid]

Love this, but definitely more than half an hour haha

[@jacobmulhearn1079]

What black hand gloves do you use? I want to get some myself. Great video too definitely going to try this!

4 days in the fridge? In one sitting I'd be done with all those meals.😂

[@makaronichef2506]

Hello Jack, quick question about the Peanuts - do i need raw peanuts for that? and then toast them? Or is it okay to use already baked/roasted peanuts and toast them again? also when choosing, should i get the salt version or the without salt

[@ChefJackOvens]

Hello! If you buy roasted you don’t need to roast them. Unsalted is what I use

[@mitchpugliese]

Which size meal prep containers are you using in your meal prep videos? The link just brings you to the site not a specific set of containers. It’s hard to judge sizes on camera. Thanks

Brother HOW do i measure milliliters of a thick sauce like hoisin? Why not just include the mass in grams

Same amount in g

[@moehasan7534]

this is usually true for water yes but not always @@ChefJackOvens

i mean think about it, its volume vs mass. hoisin sauce can take up the same volume as water and i doubt they would weigh the same
