Gluten Free Hunan Chicken

GF Hunan Chicken & Shrimp

Comment: Having all ingredients on hand before you start this recipe is a must and you should have someone assisting if possible because there’s quick frying of the meats, vegetables and rice. It’s an intense 25 minutes but well worth the effort and you’ll want this as a staple for a monthly meal. Leftovers (if any) are good as flavors are enhanced.
