Ingedients

  • 1 lb. Chicken breasts, cut into thin slices

Chicken Stir-Fry Sauce:

  • 2 Minced Garlic cloves
  • 1-inch piece of Root ginger, peeled and grated (Do not use powdered ginger!)
  • 4 tbsp. Gluten-free soy sauce or coconut aminos for Paleo/W30
  • 1 tbsp. Apple cider vinegar

Chicken Stir-Fry:

  • 2 tbsp. Olive oil
  • 1/2 cup Onion , 80g
  • 2 cups Broccoli , 200g
  • 1/2 Red bell pepper , 100g
  • 1 cup Mushrooms , 80g
  • 2 tsp Sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp Red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. To prepare the chicken, combine garlic, freshly grated root ginger (avoid using powdered ginger as it’s not suitable), gluten-free soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar in a bowl or ziplock bag. Marinate the chicken in this mixture for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large wok and cook onions for two minutes. Add broccoli and bell peppers, and cook for a few more minutes until they are tender-crisp. Then, transfer the vegetables to a bowl with a foil cover to keep them warm.
  3. Remove the marinated chicken from the fridge (remember to keep the marinade) and add more oil to the wok. Cook the chicken over high heat for 3-4 minutes per side or until the chicken pieces are fully cooked.
  4. Add the cooked vegetables to the wok and the remaining stir-fry marinade, mushrooms, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms are done.
  5. Serve the dish hot.
