Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 1 lb chicken breast, sliced
Vegetables
- 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup carrots, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Sauce & Oil
- 3 tbsp gluten-free soy sauce or tamari
- 2 tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Slice the chicken breast into thin strips. Wash and slice the bell peppers, carrots, and broccoli into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic finely to release maximum flavor.
- Cook Chicken: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive or vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and stir-fry until it turns golden brown and is cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
- Stir-Fry Vegetables: In the same pan, add the minced garlic and stir quickly to release its aroma. Add the sliced bell peppers, carrots, and broccoli florets, then stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
- Combine and Season: Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the vegetables. Pour in 3 tablespoons of gluten-free soy sauce or tamari. Stir everything thoroughly to coat the chicken and vegetables evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve your gluten-free chicken and veggie stir-fry hot, ideally with a side of steamed rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
Notes
- Use gluten-free soy sauce or tamari to keep the dish gluten-free.
- For extra flavor, garnish with chopped green onions or a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
- You can substitute chicken breast with tofu or shrimp if preferred.
- Adjust the quantity of garlic and vegetables according to taste.
- Serve immediately for best texture and taste.
