Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.25 cup tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 4 cups cooked rice (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and place them in a bowl.
Step 2
Add the tamari and cornstarch to the chicken, mixing well to ensure all the chicken pieces are evenly coated. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Add the chicken to the pan in a single layer. Cook for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Step 5
In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Step 6
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 7
Add the red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and julienned carrot to the pan. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are just tender-crisp.
Step 8
Return the cooked chicken to the pan, tossing everything together.
Step 9
Add the sliced green onions and drizzle with sesame oil, tossing once more to combine all the flavors.
Step 10
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the stir-fry before serving.
Step 11
Serve the stir-fried chicken with steamed rice.
