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.
