Gluten Free Chinese - Chicken Broccoli Stir Fry

     Don't like broccoli?  Sticking it into stir fries is one way to get more of this amazing cancer fighting vegetable into your diet!  I've only made this recipe a few times, but this past weekend I made it again and adjusted the seasoning in the sauce to give it a little bit more zip.  The Asian students and my husband all said it was a keeper.  The original recipe doesn't call for carrots and celery, but I wanted to add more color and vegetables to this delicious stir fry.

Gluten Free Chicken Broccoli Stir Fry 

1. Prepare chicken:  Rinse 1 pound of chicken breasts and cut into 1"strips.  Season with salt and pepper and put into the refrigerator until needed.


2.  Prepare veggies:
(1)  Cut 2 cups of broccoli florets
(2)  Slice 1 red/yellow/green bell pepper cut into strips
(3)  Cut 1 small onion into thin slices,
(4)  Slice 2 carrots and 2 celery on the diagonal.
(5)  Mince 2 cloves of garlic and put in a separate pinch bowl, and chop up 1 T of fresh ginger and put that in another pinch bowl.


3.  Prepare the stir-fry sauce:  Whisk 2 cups of chicken stock or 2 cups of water with 4 t of chicken bouillon,  with 8 T tamari, 2 T rice mirin or cooking sherry,  3-4 T cornstarch, 2 t salt, 1 t black pepper, and 1 t red pepper flakes in a bowl.


4.   Stir-fry chicken:  Heat 2 T of coconut oil in a wok or large skillet and let warm up, add the garlic and ginger and stir fry until fragrant about 30 seconds.



 Then add the chicken and stir-fry for about 2 minutes until white.



5.  Stir-fry veggies:  Add the vegetables and stir fry until crisp-tender about 3-4 minutes.  Then add the stir-fry sauce and stir about 2 minutes until the sauce thickens.

  1. I am a Chinese student, and I've had this a few times at Jackie's. This colorful dish gives me a great appetite, and the tender chicken with the combination of vegetables makes a delicious dish.
