  • Remove chicken from pan. If you have about a tablespoon of oil in the pan go ahead and use it without wiping your pan clean. If not, add a tablespoon of oil, minced garlic and green onions and let cook for about 1 minute, but don't let your garlic burn.
  • Add tomato sauce, water, sugar, Sriracha and soy sauce.
  • Bring to a boil and then simmer for about 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
  • Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Add the chicken back into the pan with the sauce.

JJJ - I added various stir-fry veggies depending on what I have. My family complained that there wasn't enough sauce so I will be doubling the sauce recipe from now on.
