Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Yellow bell pepper
• 1 medium Green bell pepper
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
• 3 tablespoons Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
• 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 stalks Scallions (green onions)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breast into thin strips, about 1/4-inch thick. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Deseed and slice the red, yellow, and green bell peppers into thin strips.

Step 3

Mince the garlic and grate the fresh ginger.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the tamari, water, and cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.

Step 5

In a large non-stick skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Add the chicken strips to the skillet and stir-fry for about 5-6 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 7

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 8

Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp.

Step 9

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the bell peppers and mix well.

Step 10

Pour in the tamari-cornstarch mixture and sesame oil. Stir continuously for another minute until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and vegetables evenly.

Step 11

Slice the scallions and sprinkle them, along with sesame seeds, over the stir-fry.

Step 12

Serve hot with your choice of cooked rice or gluten-free noodles.
