Caramelized Black Pepper Chicken [0001023]

Ingredients:

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce or tamari
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons black peppercorns, coarsely crushed
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

In a small bowl, mix together the gluten-free soy sauce, honey, and crushed black peppercorns.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Add the minced garlic to the hot oil and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they start to brown.

Pour the soy sauce, honey, and black pepper mixture over the chicken.

Continue to stir-fry for another 5-6 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, the sauce has thickened, and the chicken pieces are caramelized.

Stir in the rice vinegar and salt, and cook for an additional minute, allowing the flavors to meld.

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt or black pepper to your preference.

Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves if desired.

Serve your Caramelized Black Pepper Chicken hot, ideally with steamed rice or your favorite gluten-free side dish.

Enjoy this savory and slightly spicy gluten-free chicken dish that's bursting with bold flavors!
