  • Add the white wine, coconut aminos (or liquid aminos), and avocado oil to a mixing bowl and stir together to combine. Add in the chicken and stir well. Add the tapioca flour and sea salt and stir well. Allow the chicken to marinate while you make the sauce and chop the vegetables. Stir it occasionally.
  • Add the ingredients for the sauce to a bowl or measuring cup and stir to combine. Set aside until ready to use.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to a large non-stick skillet and add half of the chicken, creating one layer of chicken. This allows the chicken to brown up nicely for a good crisp. Cook chicken 2 to 3 minutes until browned, then transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining chicken. Transfer the rest of the chicken to the plate and add 1 tablespoon more of sesame oil or avocado oil to the skillet.
  • Add the bell pepper, green onion, and garlic (and chili if using) to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally until very fragrant, about 3 minutes. Transfer the chicken back into the skillet and continue cooking until everything appears golden-brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes.

  • First, prepare kung pao sauce. Mix together minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, sriracha, chili garlic paste, and honey. Set aside. Then, create a corn starch slurry by whisking together cornstarch and warm water. Whisk until the corn starch has dissolved and set aside.

  • Prepare the ingredients needed for Kung Pao Chicken, and remove the fascia from the chicken breast. It is best to fry the peanuts in advance and set aside.
  • Pat the chicken breast with the back of the knife to relax the chicken so that the chicken can taste better. Then cut the chicken into diced, add half teaspoon white pepper, 1 tablespoon of cooking wine, a little salt, 1 tablespoon of starch, 1 tablespoon of oil and mix well, marinate 5-10 minutes. I added oil to make the chicken tender and smooth, and it is not easy to stick to the pan when frying.
