Stovetop Instructions
- First, in a Ziplock bag, add 2 tablespoons tapioca flour, chicken and pepper. Toss until chicken is fully coated.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil and chicken. Next, cook for 3 minutes on each side.
- Then, add all remaining ingredients (except tapioca flour, broccoli and green onions) to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes.
- Remove 2 tablespoons of the juice inside the skillet and add to a small bowl. Then, whisk in remaining tapioca flour until combined.
- Next, add this sauce to the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until sauce has thickened.
- Lastly, serve with cooked broccoli and green onions if desired.
Notes
- Chicken is done cooking when it has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Tapioca flour really thickens the sauce. I suggest adding a little to start and adjusting to your desired preference.
- The longer the sauce simmers/sautés, the thicker it will become.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in a skillet with a drizzle of olive oil.
