Ingredients

• 1 pound Chicken breast, boneless and skinless
• 0.25 cup Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, freshly grated
• 1 large Carrot, julienned
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, sliced
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 cup Snow peas
• 3 Green onions, sliced
• 4 cups Cooked rice or gluten-free noodles
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breast into thin strips, about 1/4-inch thick, and transfer them to a mixing bowl.

Step 2

In the bowl with the chicken, add 2 tablespoons of tamari and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, mixing until the chicken is well-coated. Set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the marinated chicken strips to the skillet. Stir-fry the chicken for 5-6 minutes until it is cooked through and browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the julienned carrot, sliced red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and snow peas.

Step 6

Stir-fry the vegetables for about 4-5 minutes until they start to soften but remain crisp.

Step 7

Return the chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the remaining tamari, sliced green onions, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together until fully combined and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Serve the stir fry over cooked rice or gluten-free noodles, and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
