Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup chicken broth For the stir fry sauce
  • ¼ cup tamari soy sauce or coconut aminos for a gluten-free option
  • 1 tablespoon dry sherry optional adds extra flavor
  • 1 tablespoon honey For sweetness
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil For flavor
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder for a gluten-free thickener
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil For cooking the chicken and vegetables
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast cut into 1-inch pieces Main protein
  • Salt and pepper to taste For seasoning
  • 1 red bell pepper deseeded and chopped For color and crunch
  • 1 small carrot thinly sliced Adds sweetness and texture
  • 2 cups broccoli florets cut into bite-sized pieces Adds fiber and crunch
  • 1 small yellow onion chopped For flavor base
  • 1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger For flavor
  • 4 garlic cloves minced For flavor
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds Optional garnish
  • 1 green onion sliced Optional garnish

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, dry sherry, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and cornstarch. Set aside.
  2. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken in a single layer. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is lightly browned, about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the red bell pepper, onion, carrot, and broccoli. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Return the cooked chicken to the pan. Add the minced ginger and garlic. Stir for about 30 seconds.
  5. Pour in the sauce and stir everything together. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  6. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
