Instructions
- Melt the Butter and Oil in a skillet over medium/low heat.
- Add the diced Onion and Garlic to the melted butter/oil.
- Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until onions are soft.
- Add the salt, pepper, sugar chopped ginger and chicken and continue sautéing for another 10-12 minutes. Sugar should be melted and chicken browned.
