Ingredients

For the Chicken

1 lb chicken breast, cut into small bites

1 tablespoon olive oil

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon paprika

For the Vegetables

1 cup broccoli florets

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 cup carrots, shredded or thinly sliced

1 cup cooked rice (white or brown), for serving

Gluten-Free Garlic Sauce

3 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce (tamari)

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon rice vinegar (gluten-free)

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon grated ginger

½ cup water

1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook 5–7 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

In the same skillet, add broccoli and bell pepper. Cook 3 minutes until softened but still crisp. Add carrots and cook 1 minute.

Whisk tamari, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, water, and cornstarch slurry.

Pour sauce into the skillet and simmer until thick and glossy, about 1–2 minutes.

Return the cooked chicken, toss to coat, and cook 1 minute more.

Serve over cooked rice and top with green onions or sesame seeds if desired.

Tips

Cut chicken small so it cooks quickly.

Keep veggies crisp for the best texture.

Add chili flakes for heat or lime juice for brightness.

Tamari keeps the dish fully gluten-free with deep flavor.
