Instructions

  1. Step 1: Thinly slice 4 garlic cloves and finely chop 1 oz fresh ginseng root. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the garlic slices, sautéing for 2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 lb boneless chicken thighs, sliced into 1-inch pieces, to the skillet and cook over medium heat for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken is golden and cooked through.
  3. Step 3: Pour in 3 cups chicken broth along with the chopped ginseng root, 1 tsp sea salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook uncovered for 10 minutes until the broth is infused and slightly reduced.
  4. Step 4: Sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley over the dish and stir gently before serving hot.

Frequently asked questions

How long does Sautéed Chicken with Garlic and Ginseng Broth take to make?

Total time is about 30 minutes (10 min prep + 20 min cook). Most home cooks find this fits comfortably into a weeknight; double the batch on Sunday for two dinners.

How do I store leftover Sautéed Chicken with Garlic and Ginseng Broth?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep boneless chicken thighs from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Sautéed Chicken with Garlic and Ginseng Broth?

Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut). For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Sautéed Chicken with Garlic and Ginseng Broth for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 4 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 4). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
