Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs Chicken breast
  • 1 lb Mushrooms
  • 1 cup Bamboo shoots
  • 1 cup Water chestnuts
  • 1 cup Snow peas
  • 1 cup Chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
  • 1 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp Sesame oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1 tsp Ginger

Instructions

  1. 1In a medium bowl, place the 1.5 lbs of chicken breast slices. Add the 1 tbsp of cornstarch and toss until the chicken is evenly coated. Set aside.
  2. 2Place a 12-inch wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 1 tbsp of sesame oil. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add the coated 1.5 lbs of chicken breast. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is browned on all sides and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  3. 3Add the 2 cloves of minced garlic and 1 tsp of grated ginger to the wok with the chicken. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  4. 4Add the 1 lb of mushrooms, 1 cup of bamboo shoots, 1 cup of water chestnuts, and 1 cup of snow peas to the wok. Continue to stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. 5In a separate small bowl, whisk together the 1 cup of chicken broth and 2 tbsp of tamari until well combined.
  6. 6Pour the chicken broth and tamari mixture over the chicken and vegetables in the wok. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  7. 7Serve the Moo Goo Gai Pan immediately over gluten-free rice.
