This Hunan Chicken is an Indo-chinese dish that is a delicious stir fry with chicken and lots of vegetables in a savoury and spicy sauce. I used chicken thighs but you can use chicken breast. This dish is originated from the Hunan province of China.
You can easily substitute tofu for Chicken to make it a vegetarian dish.
