Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts tenders, or thighs, cut into 1'' bite sized pieces
  • 1/3 cup gluten free flour
  • 2 tsp fresh grated garlic or garlic powder
  • 2 tsp fresh grated ginger or ginger powder
  • 2 Tbsps sesame oil
  • 1 large red bell pepper diced
  • 1 large carrot diced small
  • 2 green onions or scallions finely sliced
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes or to taste
  • sea salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste about 1/4 teaspoon each

For the sauce:

  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos Bragg's liquid aminos, or low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup chicken bone broth
  • 2-3 Tbsps raw honey depending on your sweetness preference
  • 1 tsp garlic powder or fresh grated garlic
  • 1 tsp favorite hot sauce optional
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger or freshly grated
  • 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • tiny pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  • In a large ziplock bag or glass bowl add chicken, flour, garlic powder, ginger powder, sea salt and pepper.
  • Seal the bag and toss chicken pieces to get all chicken pieces nicely coated.
  • In a small bowl, combine and whisk together your ingredients for the sauce. Set aside.
  • Heat your sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add coated chicken and cook until golden on all sides, but not entirely cooked through, about 3-4 minutes, creating a crispy crust on the chicken.
  • Stir in bell peppers and carrots and continue to cook until veggies soften a bit.
  • Pour your sauce over top of the chicken and veggies, bring it all to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until chicken is cooked through and sauce thickens up a bit, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with green onions/scallions and enjoy your sweet & spicy chicken served over brown rice or quinoa, with a big side of steamed broccoli.
