Instructions

1In a medium bowl, combine the about 680 g boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 2.54 cm bite-sized pieces, the 2 tbsp minced lemongrass, the 3 minced garlic cloves, the 1 minced small red chili, the 3 tbsp gluten-free tamari, and the 1 tbsp brown sugar. Mix everything together until the chicken is evenly coated, then let this mixture marinate at room temperature for at least 15 minutes.
2Place a large 30.48 cm skillet or wok over high heat. Add the 2 tbsp vegetable oil and heat until it shimmers, which should take about 1 minute.
3Carefully add the marinated chicken to the hot skillet. Stir-fry the chicken for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until it is browned on all sides and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 74°C.
4Add the 1 large bell pepper, sliced into 0.635 cm strips, and the 1 medium onion, sliced into 0.635 cm strips, to the skillet with the chicken. Continue to stir-fry for another 3-5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp and still have a slight bite.
5Divide the 4 cups of cooked rice among four serving bowls. Spoon the chicken and vegetable stir-fry over the rice, then garnish each serving with the 0.25 cup of chopped cilantro before serving.
