Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 cups Chicken broth (gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons Tamari sauce (gluten-free soy sauce)
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
- 2 Green onions, chopped
Instructions
Begin by slicing each chicken breast into 1-inch pieces. Season them with salt and black pepper evenly on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken pieces and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and tamari sauce, then add the brown sugar. Stir well to dissolve the sugar and bring the mixture to a simmer.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water to create a slurry.
Slowly add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet while stirring constantly. This will thicken the sauce. Let it cook and thicken for about 2-3 minutes.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, tossing it in the brown sauce to coat thoroughly. Allow the chicken to simmer in the sauce for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot over rice or your choice of gluten-free side dishes.
