Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 3 Boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-size pieces ~ or chicken tenders, about 1.5 pounds
  • 1 to 1 + 1/2 lbs Broccoli cut into medium-sized chunks ~ or more I use a little more fresh or frozen
  • 1 Lg Red bell pepper sliced ~ or any color of peppers
  • 1 + 1/2 cups or 2 handfuls of chopped kale no stems ~ optional
  • 1/3 cup Soy sauce ~ gluten-free if needed or coconut aminos
  • 2 Tbsp Corn starch ~ or arrowroot powder for corn-free
  • 1/2 cup Chicken broth
  • 3 Tbsp Honey or light brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp Sesame oil
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper
  • 1/2 Tbsp Fresh grated ginger
  • 2 tsp Fresh minced garlic ~ 2 tsp garlic replacer powder for Low FODMAP
  • Rice to serve with

Instructions

  • Whisk together soy sauce, and corn starch. Add chicken broth, honey or brown sugar, sesame oil, pepper, ginger, and garlic. Stir to combine ingredients well. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat oil and add prepared meat. Cook until meat is fully cooked, this should take about 7-10 minutes. I cover the skillet for a few minutes if the pieces of meat are cubed to ensure it's cooked through.
  • Add broccoli and peppers and cook for another 5-7 minutes. Toss in kale pieces at the end if you decide to add them.
  • Pour sauce over the cooked meat and veggies and stir while it thickens.
  • Serve over cooked rice or pad Thai rice noodles.
