About This Recipe

"For the Gluten-Free chicken dish, I switched out some of the ingredients, such as sugar, cornstarch and soy sauce to suit my dietary plan, changed the directions and added some garlic. This Chili Chicken is amazing; as I devoured it, I was transported back to my days of gluten-filled eating in New York City Chinese restaurants!"

Ingredients

2 chicken breasts, rinsed and cut into bite size pieces ( about 1 1/2 pounds)
1/4 teaspoon celtic sea salt
1 teaspoon umeboshi vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon agave nectar
1 tablespoon arrowroot
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
10 dried chilies, cut in half
1 tablespoon gingerroot, minced
1 shallot, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup water

Directions

In a medium sized bowl, season chicken with salt, umeboshi, sesame oil, agave and arrowroot.
In a large skillet over a high flame, heat grapeseed oil.

"I really loved how you altered this recipe to be so healthy. I enjoyed this dish though felt it could use a little kick. I left out a majority of the chili seeds, next time I think I'll include them. Update: I just took the leftovers out of the freezer, and it was fantastic."
