Allergy Friendly Chicken Yakisoba

Allergy Friendly Chicken Yakisoba

By popular request here is my GF / SF Chicken Yakisoba!

 

My family says it’s the best yakisoba they’ve ever had…and they’ve had a LOT of soba. 😉

 

  • Buckwheat noodles are a great choice for GF and lower carb. These are my favorites.
    • However, sometimes I’m a cheater and use GF spaghetti noodles.

 

Gluten Free Yakisoba

My family says it's the best yakisoba, and they've had alot of 'soba

  • 8 oz buckwheat soba noodles (or gf spaghetti but this increases the carb ratio)
  • 4 stalks celery (sliced diagonally)
  • 3 carrots (sliced diagonally)
  • 1 yellow onion (sliced)
  • 5 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 cups broccoli (lightly steamed, small pieces)
  • 1 cup gluten free Teriyaki sauce
  • 1 1/2 lbs chicken breast (3-4 breasts, depending on size)
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil
  1. Cook pasta "al dente" according to package directions, drain and set aside.

  2. Slice chicken and saute on medium high in sections in 2 Tbsp avocado oil (seasoning with salt and pepper as you go) until cooked through.

  3. While chicken cooks slice vegetables to roughly the same size (bonus points for diagonal) and steam broccoli for 2-3 minutes (you can skip the steaming it just provides for a better texture).

  4. Set chicken aside and pour 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce over it. In the same pan add 2 more Tbsp avocado oil and saute onions (2-3 minutes), then add carrots (2-3 minutes), then add celery (2-3 minutes), then add garlic, 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce and broccoli. Saute for an addition 2-3 minutes until garlic is aromatic and flavors are melded. ***Every time you add a veggie add a TINY bit of salt to enhance the natural flavor of the food. Omit this step if salt sensitive hypertension is a concern.

  5. Remove from pan and add noodles and 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce to pan and saute until sauce is mostly soaked in.

  6. Finally add chicken, vegetable mix and the remaining 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce (taste it first to make sure it's the right flavor for you) to the noodles and enjoy!
