    ⭐ Why you'll love this recipe

    • Easy recipe.
    • One pan.
    • Ready in 30 minutes.

    📖 Ingredient notes

    • Chicken. For this chicken and veggie stir fry you will need boneless, skinless chicken breast.
    • Cashew nuts. They add a delicious crunchiness to this stir fry. Use raw, unseasoned cashew nuts.
    • Zucchini. For this recipe we are using unpeeled zucchini.
    • Broccoli cut into florets.
    • Red bell pepper. You can, of course, use green bell pepper if you prefer. But I like to add some color to my stir fry.

    For the gluten free stir fry sauce (with paleo option)

    • Tamari sauce (or coconut aminos if you are on paleo diet). What is tamari sauce? It is a gluten free soy sauce. Regular soy sauce contains wheat (and consequently gluten). So in order to make a gluten free stir fry sauce you need to use tamari sauce. If you are on a paleo diet or intolerant to soy, you need to use coconut aminos instead of tamari sauce. Coconut aminos is a gluten free, soy free alternative to soy sauce. It is made from the fermented sap of coconut palm.
    • Honey or Maple syrup. To add a little sweetness to the stir fry sauce.
    • Starch. If you are on a paleo diet you should use either arrow root or tapioca starch. If you are not on a paleo diet, you can use either corn starch or potato starch. If you can't tolerate any of those starches, you can omit the starch completely. The starch is a thickener for this gluten free stir fry sauce. It doesn't alter the taste.

    👩🏻‍🍳Top tips

    To make this recipe, easier and quicker, you can use frozen broccoli florets. Try to get them out of the freezer in advance so they can thaw. But if you don't thaw them before hand, they will just need to cook longer.

    💬 Frequently Asked Questions

    What to serve this chicken stir fry with?

    This chicken and veggie stir fry has already everything in just one pan. But if you want more you can add a side dish to this stir fry. If you are on a paleo diet, you can serve this gluten free chicken stir fry with cauliflower rice. If you are not paleo, you can serve with regular white rice or basmati rice.

    How to store leftover chicken stir fry?

    If you have any leftovers, put them in an airtight container and store in the fridge foe up to 2 days.

    Ingredients
     

    • 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast
    • 70 grams (½ cup) cashew nuts
    • 1.5 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
    • 90 grams (1 cup) broccoli
    • 75 grams (½ cup) red bell pepper
    • ½ medium zucchini cubed

    For the gluten free stir fry sauce :

    • 4 Tablespoons tamari sauce (use coconut aminos for paleo diet or if you are soy free)
    • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
    • 1 teaspoon starch (see notes)

    Instructions
     

    • Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Add the olive oil to a skillet and heat over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
    • Reduce heat to medium low. Add red bell pepper, zucchini, broccoli florets and cashew nuts.

    Notes

    Starch : If you are on a paleo diet use either arrowroot or tapioca starch. Both are paleo compliant. If you are not on a paleo diet, you can use either corn starch or potato starch. If you can't tolerate any of those starches, you can omit the starch completely. The starch is a thickener for the sauce. It doesn't alter the taste.
