Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.25 cup tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 4 cups cooked rice (for serving)
Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and place them in a bowl.
Add the tamari and cornstarch to the chicken, mixing well to ensure all the chicken pieces are evenly coated. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken to the pan in a single layer. Cook for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and julienned carrot to the pan. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are just tender-crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the pan, tossing everything together.
Add the sliced green onions and drizzle with sesame oil, tossing once more to combine all the flavors.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the stir-fry before serving.
Serve the stir-fried chicken with steamed rice.
