I know I have mentioned many times about Robby our son having to be gluten-free but there are also a number of vegetables that he cannot have so I am constantly having to adjust recipes to accommodate his dietary restrictions. This recipe is just one of those, I’m going to give you the recipe in full but I was unable to add the bell peppers. This recipe makes plenty of sauce which we love. I served this over white rice.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts cut into bite-size pieces
- 3 Tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil, more if needed
- 2 bell peppers, sliced
- 1 cup steamed green beans (can use the freezer steam bags)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons of garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 1 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/8 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 bottle of sweet chili sauce (1 1/4 cups)
- cooked white rice For serving
DIRECTIONS
In a large bowl add the diced chicken and tablespoon of oil. Add the garlic powder and corn starch. Mix until all of the chicken is coated With the corn starch.
In a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat add 3 tablespoons of oil. Let the oil heat up until it glistened slightly. Working in small batches, add the chicken and cook turning often until the chicken is cooked through. If the pan or wok gets dry go ahead and add more oil. Do this until all of the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and add the bell peppers and cook until just slightly soft. Next, add the garlic and let cook for just a minute or two. Add the chicken back into the pan, add the steamed green beans, sweet chili sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes into the pan. Stir until combined and everything is coated in the sauce. Serve over rice.
Enjoy!
