  1. 1Cut the about 680 g chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, about 2.54 cm cubes.
  2. 2In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup gluten-free soy sauce (Tamari), 2 tablespoons sesame oil, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon grated ginger until well combined. Stir in the 1 tablespoon cornstarch until no lumps remain.

  6. 6Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the chicken and broccoli. Stir constantly and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and coats the chicken and broccoli.

  8. 8Serve the gluten-free sesame chicken and broccoli immediately over the 4 cups of cooked white rice.
