Chicken with coriander

I like this preparation of chicken, similar to the above but much simpler. It was served to us at the Grape Garden restaurant on Penthurst Road, Willoughby.

2 chicken breast diced
marinade: white pepper, salt, chinese white wine
2 cloves garlic
2 cups of coriander leaves, chopped

1. Marinade the chicken
2. Heat the pan, fry the garlic.
3. Before the garlic turns brown, add the chicken, allow it to brown slightly on one side.
4. Stir fry for 10 minutes until the chicken is properly cooked
5. Throw in the coriander leaves and turn the heat off
