Ingredients

  • Stir-fry
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 onion, cut into thin wedges
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 cups sliced bell peppers
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • Unrefined salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Chicken
  • 1.5 lbs organic chicken breast, thinly sliced (about 2-3 breasts)
  • Unrefined salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Garlic Sauce
  • 1/4 cup gluten-free tamari
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons brown rice vinegar, or lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 1 medjool date, pitted
  • Pinch red pepper flakes
  • For serving
  • Cooked rice noodles or rice (optional)

Instructions

  • Garlic Sauce
  • To make the sauce, combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Set aside.
  • Stir-fry
  • In a large skillet, add sesame oil on medium-high heat (not toasted sesame oil - just regular sesame oil).
  • Add onions, bell peppers, broccoli and mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook until they get caramelized in colour and are cooked through but still slightly crunchy from the outside, about 8 minutes.
  • Transfer vegetables to a plate and set aside.
  • Now change heat to medium, season sliced chicken with salt and pepper and add to the hot skillet. Cook until cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Alternatively, while vegetables are cooking, use a different skillet to cook the chicken, then add chicken to the vegetable skillet.
  • Transfer vegetables back to the pan with the chicken and pour in all the sauce, stir, turn off heat and enjoy on its own or serve with noodles or rice.
