Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds chicken breast cut into bite size pieces, boneless
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ½ red bell pepper chopped
  • ½ cup cashews toasted
  • 2 scallions chopped and divided
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons liquid aminos

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the chicken broth, liquid aminos, rice vinegar, sugar-free honey and toasted sesame oil into a small mixing bowl. Whisk to combine, then set aside.
  2. Heat a skillet to medium and add in the avocado oil and once heated, the chicken.
  3. Cook for a few minutes on each side, until the chicken is almost cooked through. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
  4. Add in the red bell pepper and the white parts of the scallions. Sauté until tender, then add in the garlic and ginger.
  5. Continue cooking for another 30 seconds, making sure not to brown the garlic or it will become bitter.
  6. Pour in the chicken broth mixture to deglaze the pan, scraping up any brown bits of flavor.
  7. Sprinkle in the xanthan gum while whisking, then add the chicken back in, along with the cashews.
  8. Toss to coat and simmer until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through. Mix in the green parts of the scallions, toss and serve.
