Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.75 cup Gluten-free sweet chilli sauce
- 2 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 stalks Green onions (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 4 cups Cooked rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
In a small mixing bowl, combine cornstarch, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Toss the chicken pieces in the cornstarch mixture until evenly coated.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the coated chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium, and add minced garlic, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the gluten-free sweet chilli sauce, gluten-free soy sauce or tamari, honey, and rice vinegar to the skillet. Stir to combine, and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, and toss it in the sauce until each piece is well-coated.
Optional: Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve hot over cooked rice or as preferred.
