Equipment

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
