Chicken Stir Fry

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb Chicken breasts (or thighs) (Sliced against the grain into 1/4)
  • 1 tbsp Coconut aminos (Marinade)
  • 1 tbsp Dry sherry wine (Marinade)
  • 1 tbsp Corn starch (Marinade)
  • 1/2 cup Chicken broth (Sauce)
  • 2 tbsp Coconut aminos (Sauce)
  • 2 tbsp Dry sherry wine (Sauce)
  • 1 tbsp Corn starch (Sauce)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Sugar (Sauce)
  • 2 tsp Coarsely ground black pepper (Sauce)
  • 1/8 tsp Salt (Sauce)
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil (Stir fry)
  • 1 tbsp Minced ginger (Stir fry)
  • 2 clove Garlic (Minced) (Stir fry)
  • 1/2 White onion (Chopped) (Stir fry)
  • 2 Bell peppers (Chopped (I used mixed colors) (Stir fry)

Instructions:

1. Combine chicken, coconut aminos, wine, and cornstarch in a medium-sized bowl. Gently mix by hand until the chicken is coated with a thin layer of the mixture. Marinate for 10 to 15 minutes.

2. Combine all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.

3. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the chicken. Immediately spread the chicken into a single layer using a spatula, with as little overlap as possible. Sear for 30 seconds or so, until the bottom is lightly browned. Flip the chicken. Cook for 15 to 20 seconds. Stir occasionally, until both sides are browned but still a bit pink inside. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.

4. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Add the ginger and garlic. Give it a quick stir until fragrant. Add the white onion and peppers. Stir and cook for 20 seconds.

5. Stir the sauce mixture until the cornstarch is dissolved completely, and pour it into the skillet. Stir with a spatula immediately and cook until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, a few seconds. Add back the cooked chicken. Quickly stir a few times to coat everything with the sauce. Turn off heat and remove the skillet from the stove. Immediately transfer everything to a big plate so the ingredients won’t keep cooking in the hot skillet.

6. Serve hot as a main dish.
