Green Dot Chicken

Ingredients

• 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into cubes
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar

2. Add the cubed chicken to the mixture and toss to coat.
3. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken to the skillet and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
