The beauty of this gluten-free Chicken Stir-Fry is its ease and versatility. The sauce pairs beautifully with almost any vegetable and tastes even better the next day. If you like this Asian-inspired stir fry recipe, you will also enjoy our Easy Orange Chicken. Simple stir-fry recipes make weeknight cooking a snap!

Also, if you are on a gluten-free diet, you know that soy sauce has gluten, so you might appreciate a chicken stir fry without soy sauce.

This recipe uses Coconut Aminos, a gluten-free, soy, and wheat-free soy-like sauce made from coconut. Coconut Aminos are lower in sodium and add a delicious umami flavor to the recipe. You can also use any gluten-free soy sauce for this recipe, but we prefer the taste of Coconut Aminos.

  • It’s an easy weeknight meal.
