Cook the onions: In a large wok or skillet, over low-medium heat, add regular olive oil and toasted sesame oil. Add the minced garlic and chopped onions, and a pinch of salt, a just a pinch of 5-spice seasoning blend, saute until slightly browned and caramelized. Make sure not to burn, keep the heat on medium to low. When they are done, using tongs, take them out and put them on a plate or bowl, and set aside until later when you will add them back into the stir-fry to combine together.
Cook the chicken: Add 1-2 tablespoons unsalted butter, add the chopped chicken, stir-fry over medium-high heat, stirring regularly, allow the chicken to brown slightly or to your liking. Add the remaining seasonings, the 5-spice powder, the soy sauce, the optional chopped ginger and stir to combine. You can add some more olive oil and sesame oil (a drizzle) if you need to. The chicken should be 165 degrees F when cooked. Be careful to not overcook so that the chicken will not be tough. When the chicken is done, add the cooked onions back in.
Serve over steamed rice or noodles, optionally with chopped scallions, enjoy!
