Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
2 tbsp olive oil (or sesame oil)
1 onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bell pepper, sliced
1 zucchini, sliced
1 carrot, julienned
1 cup broccoli florets
2 tbsp gluten-free soy sauce (tamari can be used for a gluten-free option)
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
1/4 cup water or chicken broth (for the sauce)
1 tsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Fresh cilantro or green onions for garnish (optional)
Directions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced chicken to the pan and stir-fry for 4–5 minutes, or until fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of oil.
- Add the onion, garlic, and bell pepper to the pan and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until softened.
- Add the zucchini, carrot, and broccoli florets to the pan and continue stir-frying for another 4–5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the gluten-free soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, and water or chicken broth. If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix in the cornstarch with a little water to create a slurry and add it to the sauce.
- Pour the sauce over the cooked vegetables and stir well to coat. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens (if using cornstarch).
- Return the cooked chicken to the pan and toss everything together until well combined and heated through.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro or green onions if desired.
- Serve immediately with rice or quinoa for a complete gluten-free meal.
