Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp calamansi juice or lime juice
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp cooking oil
  • 1 medium onion thinly sliced
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro for garnish
  • 1/4 cup fried garlic bits for garnish (optional)

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the chicken pieces with soy sauce, calamansi juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  2. Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add the sliced onions to the skillet with the chicken. Sauté until the onions are softened and slightly caramelized, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Serve the chicken and onion mixture immediately over warm jasmine rice.
  5. Garnish with fresh cilantro and fried garlic bits, if desired.
