Ingredients

• 500 grams Chicken breast
• 4 tablespoons Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
• 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
• 4 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 cup Carrots (julienned)
• 1 Red bell pepper
• 1 Zucchini (sliced)
• 2 Green onions
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cups Cooked white or brown rice (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breast thinly into bite-sized strips and season lightly with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, prepare the sauce by whisking together tamari, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, cornstarch, and water. Stir until smooth. Set aside.

Step 3

Chop all vegetables: cut broccoli into small florets, julienne the carrots, slice the red bell pepper into strips, and slice the zucchini into half-moons. Chop green onions for garnish.

Step 4

In a large non-stick skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is golden and fully cooked. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet or wok, add the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the broccoli florets, carrots, red bell pepper, and zucchini. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 6

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, and pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the stir-fry.

Step 7

Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve hot over cooked white or brown rice, if desired. Enjoy your gluten-free stir-fry chicken!
