    This dish calls for velveting your chicken. This is diffrent than Chicken Velvet which is a mixture of minced chicken breast, egg white and liquid that is either added to soup or deep-fried. Velveting chicken simply means coating it (sealing it) with corn starch & egg whites. It is easy & makes a world of difference in the tenderness and texture of the chicken. This method can also be used with flank steak.
