Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 0.25 cup gluten-free soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 0.5 cup water
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons scallions
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
Thinly slice the chicken breasts against the grain into bite-sized pieces.
Mince the garlic cloves and finely grate the ginger piece.
In a small bowl, combine the gluten-free soy sauce, cornstarch, and water. Mix until smooth and set aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced chicken pieces to the skillet and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and the sesame oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the broccoli.
Stir in the prepared soy sauce mixture and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the sauce has thickened and everything is well coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Garnish with sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
Serve hot over rice or your choice of gluten-free noodles.
