Ingredients
For the breaded chicken
- 2 chicken breasts cut into small pieces.
- 1 egg
- 1 lemon juiced
- 1 Cup gluten-free baking flour
- ½ Cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon ginger powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons oil may need more
For the Thai sauce
- 1 tablespoons peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons broth
- 1 teaspoons ginger
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce by whisking together all the ingredients until smooth.
- In a bowl beat the egg with the lemon juice. Set it aside.
- In a separate bowl combine the flour with the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, ginger and salt and pepper.
- Dip the chicken into the egg and then transfer to the flour mixture. Toss to coat evenly with flour.
- Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5 minutes or until cooked through and golden brown.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken and cook for 3 more minutes stirring so the chicken gets evenly coated with the sauce.
- Serve over rice with chopped pepper, mint or basil sprigs and a lime wedge.

Notes
- Cut the chicken pieces as tiny as possible. This way you get much more crisp with every bite.
- Try not to stir the chicken too much as cook as you’ll tear off the breading. They chicken bites will continue to cook for a couple minutes when you add the sauce.
- I find I need to put another tablespoon of oil into the pan as I’m cooking the chicken.
- Know that the more sauce you put on the chicken the less crispy it will be. Save some to drizzle onto the bowl as a whole.
- For the other sauce option mix together:• 1 tablespoon peanut butter• 2 tablespoon soy sauce• 2 tablespoon broth• 2 tablespoons Thai sweet and spicy sauce
