Chicken Chop Suey

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-size chunks

2 cups diced celery

1 cup chopped yellow onion

1 cup low-sodium chicken broth

1½ teaspoons Bragg Liquid Aminos seasoning or low sodium soy sauce (see note)

2½ tablespoons tapioca flour

¼ teaspoon minced fresh ginger

1 tablespoon brown rice syrup

¼ cup water

1½ cups fresh bean sprouts

½ cup dry roasted, unsalted peanuts (optional)

Spray large frying pan or skillet with olive oil cooking spray. Add chicken and brown. Add celery, onion, broth and Bragg liquid seasoning. Cover and simmer 5-10 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink.

While that cooks stir tapioca flour, ginger, brown rice syrup and water together in a small container with a lid. Shake to mix thoroughly. Stir into hot mixture and cook briefly until thickened. Add bean sprouts and heat through. Serve over rice. Pass additional Bragg seasoning and peanuts if desired.

Serves four.
