Best Gluten Free Ginger Soy Sesame Chicken Recipes

HEALTHY SESAME CHICKEN (GLUTEN FREE + PALEO FRIENDLY)

Steps:

• In a medium bowl or container, combine diced chicken with 2 Tbsp. cornstarch and 1 1/2 Tbsp. tamari. Toss with a fork to coat well.
• In a medium skillet, heat 1 Tbsp. avocado oil over medium-high heat.
• Working in batches, add chicken pieces to the pan (they shouldn't be touching) and cook 3-4 minutes on the first side and 1-3 minutes on the second side to cook through. (They should be fully opaque and have no pink inside).
• Remove cooked chicken to a clean plate and repeat with remaining chicken until add chicken is cooked, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
• In a bowl or liquid measuring cup, combine water, tamari, syrup or honey, vinegar, toasted sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using). Whisk to combine.
• In a small bowl, whisk together 1 Tbsp cornstarch with 1 Tbsp water to make a cornstarch slurry.
• When the chicken is fully cooked, reduce the heat in the pan to medium-low.
• Add cornstarch slurry to the sesame sauce mixture and whisk to combine (it'll now look a bit milky).
• Pour sauce mixture into the warm pan and whisk over medium-low heat 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling, thickened, and more translucent. (You should start to be able to see the path of your whisk in the sauce).
• Return cooked chicken to pan and coat with the sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve warm!
