Delicious Gluten-free Chicken Stir-fry

This is one of my go-to recipes when I need to feed a lot of people or want to have left-overs to take to work for lunch.  It is very easy and very tasty.


Ingredients:

1 1/2 lbs. of boneless and skinless chicken breasts (diced)
2 egg whites
4Tablespoons water
4 Tablespoons cornstarch
1 1/2 cups carrots
1 1/2 cups green beans
1 cup chicken broth
2 Tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce (CHECK LABELS!)
2 Tablespoons gluten-free hoisin sauce (CHECK LABELS!)
Vegetable oil
4 cloves minced garlic
2 teaspoons powdered ginger
sesame seeds

1.  Whisk the egg whites,  and 2 Tablespoons of cornstarch together to create a marinade for the diced chicken
2.  Toss the chicken in the marinade, cover and refrigerate for an hour or more
3.  Cover the bottom of a wok or skillet with oil and add the chicken stirring slowly until cooked through
4.  Transfer the chicken to a plate
5.  Add the garlic and vegetables (Add the vegetable that will take longest to cook first)
6.  In a small bowl whisk together the remaining cornstarch, chicken broth, powdered ginger soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and 2 Tablespoons of water
7.  Add the sauce to skillet and cooking vegetables
8.  Re-add the chicken and cook until all the vegetables are cooked through
9.  Garnish with sesame seeds and serve over rice


*This dish can be made a number of ways by switching the meat and vegetables.  It is hard to mess up so add what you like best.
