Low Fodmap Pineapple Orange Chicken Stir Fry

Low Fodmap Pineapple Orange Chicken Stir Fry in a bowl

My boyfriend said he was craving stir-fry, but we had been eating a lot of Asian cuisine lately and to mix it up, I decided to incorporate some pineapple juice and small oranges I had on hand.

As far as Fodmaps, Monash has tested broccoli (heads only) and they are safe at 3/4 cup so you can have more than one bite and actually feel satisfied!

Ingredients
  

Chicken & marinade
  • 2 lb chicken breasts

  • Juice from 1/2 mandarin orange
  • 3 tbsp gluten-free soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sriracha
  • Salt & pepper to taste

  • 3 oz water
To serve
  • 3 cups white or brown rice

Prep
  1. Mix marinade ingredients. Cut chicken into roughly 1" piece and toss in marinade. Place in fridge and marinade for at least four hours, preferably overnight.
Cook
  1. Cook rice according to directions.
  2. Heat pan (stainless steel is best) on medium-high heat and put 1/2 tbsp of canola oil in pan. Remove chicken from marinade and in two batches, cook chicken on medium-high heat until internal temperature of chicken reaches 165℉. Pour in another 1/2 tbsp of canola oil in between batches. Scrape up fond and incorporate into the stir fry mixture as the chicken cooks.
  3. Remove chicken from the pan and put 1/2 tbsp canola oil and 3 oz of water into the pan. Scrape up any remaining fond and stir as you add the broccoli florets. Cover and cook on medium heat until broccoli is cooked to desired crispness.
  4. Add chicken and rice to the pan. Dish out mixture and watch broccoli portions as you scoop into bowls - limit broccoli to 3/4 cup per serving.
  5. Top with green onions and serve.
