We love Chinese food and miss getting to go to our favorite Chinese restaurant now that I am gluten-free.  I found this recipe after seeing a show on the Food Network and adapeted it from www.food.com to serve the two of us.

2 tablespoons apple juice or white wine
1 tablespoon coconut sugar
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 1/2 teaspoon pure apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon Gluten-Free Tamari sauce

1. Heat the oil in a large skillet
2. Add the chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned.
3. Remove chicken from skillet & reserve.
4. Add remaining ingredients to skillet and heat over medium heat.  Stir until well mixed together.
5. Add chicken back to skillet and bring to a hard boil
6. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
