Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 0.25 cup gluten-free soy sauce
- 0.25 cup gluten-free chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- Salt
- Black pepper
Instructions
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, mix the gluten-free soy sauce, gluten-free chicken broth, and cornstarch. Stir until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken strips to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sesame oil, minced ginger, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
Return the chicken to the skillet with the broccoli.
Pour the soy sauce mixture over the chicken and broccoli, stirring continuously for about 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the chicken and broccoli.
Add the sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Stir to combine.
Serve the stir fry hot, garnished with additional sesame seeds if desired.
