As Mario Battali would say, chicken breasts are the part of the chicken you feed to your dogs.
The Chinese use both breast meat and thigh meat (and legs, wings, necks, feet and the rest of it) but they also know how to cook each type and the recipes and methods differ from one to the other.
My suggestion would be to buy a Chinese cookbook (the ones intended for Chinese culinary students, not the ones at the local bookstore written for round eyes) and learn how to prepare, season and cook various chicken dishes. There's more to it than meets the eye.
I cook a lot of Asian food (along with French and Italian) and probably 80% of my meals feature chicken in one form or another. Two tips. It's hard to use too much salt on chicken and very easy to overcook it.
