Meal delivery services have become so commonplace these days, that you can order takeout from just about anywhere. Except when you have dietary restrictions- that is. There are no dedicated gluten free restaurants where I live, and I am not comfortable ordering over the phone where I cannot speak to staff face to face about their allergen protocols.

So, to satisfy my craving for takeout, you will likely find me right here in the kitchen. Today I’m using my Dutch Oven to create this Asian Inspired Pulled Chicken, an absolutely amazing dish that rivals any restaurant! Served over fried rice, 100% gluten free.
ingredients:
- 2 boneless chicken breasts (about 1-¼ lbs.)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup tamari (gluten free soy sauce)
- 2 tbsp. gluten free Hoisin sauce
- ½ tbsp. mirin (rice wine)
- ½ tsp. sesame oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 bunch of scallions
- 1/4 tsp. powdered ginger
- 1 bunch of scallions
- cooking spray
- 1 tsp. toasted sesame seeds
- 1 batch of Fried Rice (RECIPE) for serving
Preparation:
Mince the garlic and slice the scallions, reserving the green tops for garnish. Preheat the oven to 275º (no, that’s not a typo – 275º – we are cooking low and slow).
Coat a Dutch Oven with cooking spray and add the chicken breasts.
Whisk together the sauce ingredients, honey through powdered ginger.
Pour it over the chicken, cover and bake for 2-½ hours, turning halfway through.
While the chicken cooks, make the fried rice. I have a Basic Fried Rice recipe here that you can use with all your Asian inspired meals.
After 2-½ hours the chicken should be cooked through and very tender. Remove to a cutting board and shred it with 2 forks.
Return the chicken to the pot and stir well to coat with the remaining sauce. Keep warm while you finish the rice.
Spoon the chicken over the rice and garnish with the scallion greens and toasted sesame seeds.
Notes: ♪♫ No time to make fried rice? You can serve this over plain rice or with any sides you like!
Were you surprised to learn that soy sauce is not gluten free? I was! The soy is fermented in wheat, making it unsafe for those of us with Celiac disease. In this recipe I used San J brand gluten free Tamari in place of soy sauce. It is a great addition to any Asian inspired recipe and also great for marinades.

Coat a large sauté pan or nonstick skillet with cooking spray over medium low heat. Scramble the egg, chop into small pieces and set aside.
Add 1 tbsp. olive oil and 1 tsp. sesame oil to the pan. Add the diced chicken and begin browning.
Turn to finish cooking through.
When the veggies are crisp tender add back the chicken. Pour in the chicken broth mixture, stirring and tossing to combine until the liquid thickens.
Notes ♪♫
The preparation begins with a coating of cornstarch and egg. The wings are then quickly pan fried and drizzled with a sticky sweet syrup and baked in the oven. Yes, it is a bit labor intensive but oh my goodness! I could not stop eating them!
Whisk together the sugar, mirin, ketchup, tamari and chicken broth in a small saucepan. Add a pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer, whisking frequently then cover and set aside.
Set up 2 breading trays, one with the cornstarch and the other with 2 beaten eggs. Heat a large nonstick skillet with enough canola oil to coat the surface completely.
Dredge the wings in the cornstarch, then dip in the beaten eggs. Add to the hot skillet, leaving space in between (fry them in batches if needed). Turn the wings to get a crust on all sides.

Mist a casserole dish with cooking spray. As the wings finish cooking, arrange them in a single layer. Preheat the oven to 350º.
Spoon the sauce evenly over the wings and bake for one hour, turning halfway through.
Serve hot, spooning a little of the pan juices over the wings.





Preparation:
I did think the veggies were a bit large for fried rice, so I cut them into smaller pieces. Season the veggies with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with garlic and ginger powder and leave them out to defrost.

Preparation:
Stir until the mushrooms release their liquid, then add the bone broth, 2 tsp. of tamari and 1 tsp. sesame oil (or more, to taste). Season with salt and pepper and bring to a simmer for 15 minutes.
Trim away the tough, lower part of the Bok choy, then rinse and halve the leaves. Stir them into the soup to wilt and lower the heat to keep warm.
Cook the rice noodles in a separate pan according to package directions. Just prior to serving, drizzle the beaten egg into the soup and swirl it around with a whisk. Add the cooked rice noodles.
