Gluten Free General Chang's Chicken

For 2013 HB and I have decided to team up for a 52 project. It's like the 365 photography challenge, but instead we're committing to share one recipe a week.

If you’re new here you might be surprised to find out that HB is gluten intolerant. Basically, gluten sensitivity is a spectrum of sensitivity to gluten including celiac disease and wheat allergy. If HB accidentally eats gluten he experiences a variety of reactions which won’t kill him, but they make him VERY uncomfortable and have been getting worse over time. I have no gluten sensitivity what-so-ever, but to keep things simple we keep our home gluten free. (Except those rare occasion where I have to have chocolate chip cookies RIGHT NOW.)

...

This week HB did all of the cooking. One night he came home from the grocery store with several bags and a mission - to make General Chang's Chicken. This recipe is one of the amazing ones from Artisanal Gluten-Free Cooking. For once we haven't modified the recipe at all which just goes to show you I can't recommend the book highly enough. 

What you'll need...

• olive oil
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• cornstarch
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 1/2 c orange juice
• 1/2 c cranberry juice
• 2 tbs rice vinegar
• 3 tbs GF soy sauce
• 3 tbs packed brown sugar
• 1 - 2 tbs ground chili paste (more or less depending on how much heat you want)
• 2 tbs water
• chopped scallions for garnish

What you'll do...

Sorry folks...I can't share the steps to make this delicious meal here. We followed the cook book directions to the letter and I wouldn't want to rip off Kelli and Peter Bronski's hard work by giving you one of the recipes from their book for free.

Don't worry, I'll be back next with more recipes to share. For now - you can get this recipe in Artisanal Gluten-Free Cooking or google around for a General Chang's recipe.
