Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons Tamari sauce (gluten-free soy sauce)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Ginger
- 1 Red bell pepper
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 2 Carrots
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into thin strips and set aside.
Mince the garlic and ginger. Slice the red bell pepper, chop the broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces, and julienne the carrots. Cut the green onions into 1-inch pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk together the tamari sauce, cornstarch, and water until smooth.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and stir-fry until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the minced garlic and ginger and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli, carrots, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are just tender.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the tamari sauce mixture over everything, stirring well to evenly coat the chicken and vegetables.
Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Stir in the green onions and sesame oil, and heat everything through.
Transfer the stir-fry to a serving dish and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
