Ingredients
For the Stir Fry
1 lb chicken breast, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup snap peas or green beans
1 medium carrot, sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon grated ginger
For the Gluten-Free Sauce
3 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce (tamari)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
½ cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon rice vinegar (gluten-free)
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Whisk together the gluten-free soy sauce, cornstarch, chicken broth, honey, rice vinegar, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook until no longer pink, about 4–5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Add vegetables to the skillet and stir fry for 3–4 minutes until crisp-tender.
Add garlic and ginger and cook for 30 seconds.
Return the chicken to the skillet. Pour in the prepared sauce and stir until thickened and glossy, about 1–2 minutes.
Serve hot with gluten-free rice noodles or steamed rice.
Tips
Slice chicken thinly so it cooks quickly.
Keep vegetables crisp for the best texture.
If sauce thickens too much, add 1–2 tablespoons of broth.
Use tamari for guaranteed gluten-free flavor.
