Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups chicken broth low-sodium
- ¼ cup soy sauce substitute tamari for gluten-free, low-sodium
- 5 teaspoons cornstarch divided (you'll use part of it in the sauce and part for the chicken)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- Pinch red pepper flakes add more for extra heat
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1 ½ - 2 pounds chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces, boneless skinless
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil or coconut oil
- 4 garlic finely minced or pressed, cloves
- 1 large Mango peeled, pitted and diced or (1 to 1 1/2 cups pineapple)
- 1 red bell pepper stemmed, seeded and diced
- 1 medium red onion diced or cut into thin strips
- ¼ cup basil torn into pieces, fresh
- hot cooked rice, quinoa or noodles for serving
Instructions
- In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the broth, soy sauce, 2 teaspoons cornstarch, vinegar, red pepper flakes and sugar until smooth. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, toss the chicken with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and remaining 3 teaspoons cornstarch.
- In a large 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat the 2 teaspoons oil over medium heat until hot and rippling. Add the chicken, breaking up any clumps, and cook until it is golden brown on all sides and just barely cooked through (it will cook a few minutes longer later in the recipe). Scrape the chicken onto a plate, keeping as much liquid in the skillet as possible.
- Add the garlic, mango, bell pepper, and onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
- Return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the skillet over medium heat. Whisk the sauce quickly before pouring it into the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, while the sauce simmers and thickens, 1-2 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste, if needed.
- Sprinkle with basil and serve over rice, noodles, quinoa or by itself.
