Ingredients
Stir Fry Sauce1/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup tamari soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
1 tablespoon dry sherry (optional – this isn't required, it's just an extra flavor-boost if you have it)
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
Chicken Stir Fry2 tablespoons avocado oil
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
salt and pepper, to taste
1 red bell pepper, deseeded and chopped
1 small carrot, thinly sliced
2 cups broccoli florets, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 small yellow onion, chopped
1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger
4 garlic cloves, minced
Optional Garnish1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 green onion, sliced
Method
* In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, dry sherry, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and arrowroot powder. Set aside.
* In a large skillet or wok on medium high heat, add 1 tablespoon of oil.
* Add the chicken in a flat layer. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until lightly browned, about 4-5 minutes, stirring as needed. Remove the chicken to a plate.
* Leaving any juices in the pan, add 1 tablespoon of oil along with the red bell pepper, onion, carrot, and broccoli. Cook the vegetables until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
* Add the chicken back to the pan with the minced ginger and garlic. Stir for 30 seconds. Pour in the sauce and stir fry for another 1-2 minutes, until the sauce thickens. Garnish with green onion and sesame seeds before serving.
