Ingredients

• 500 grams Chicken breast
• 60 ml Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
• 2 medium Bell peppers (assorted colors), sliced
• 1 medium Carrot, julienned
• 150 grams Broccoli florets
• 3 stalks Green onions, sliced
• 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes (adjust to taste)
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable or avocado oil
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and place them in a bowl.

Step 2

Add 1 tablespoon of tamari and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to the chicken. Mix well to coat. Let the chicken marinate while you prepare the vegetables and sauce.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the remaining tamari, honey, rice vinegar, and red chili flakes. Stir well and set aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable or avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chicken is golden and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the remaining vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the bell peppers, carrot, and broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 5-7 minutes until they are tender yet crisp.

Step 8

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 9

Drizzle the sesame oil over the stir-fry and give it a final toss.

Step 10

Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot over steamed rice or gluten-free noodles.
