The method
Step by step
- 1
In a medium bowl, combine the chicken breast with the cornstarch, gluten-free soy sauce (marinade), and sesame oil. Toss to coat evenly and set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
About 10 min
Cook’s note: Marinating the chicken helps tenderize it and adds flavor.
- 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the gluten-free soy sauce (sauce), rice vinegar, honey, water, and cornstarch (sauce) until smooth. Set aside.
About 1 min
- 3
Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Ensure your pan is hot for a good sear on the chicken and crisp vegetables.
- 4
Add the marinated chicken to the hot pan in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
About 6 min
Cook’s note: Avoid overcrowding the pan to allow the chicken to sear properly.
- 5
Add the garlic and ginger to the same pan and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Be careful not to burn the garlic and ginger.
- 6
Add the broccoli florets, carrot, bell pepper, and yellow onion to the pan. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
About 4 min
Cook’s note: Adjust cooking time based on your preferred vegetable crispness.
- 7
Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the vegetables.
- 8
Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats everything.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: The cornstarch in the sauce will thicken it quickly.
- 9
Remove from heat and garnish with green onion before serving immediately.
Cook’s note: Serve with steamed rice or gluten-free noodles.
