Ingredients
​For the sauce:

• 1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce or GF tamari

For the Stir Fry:

• 1 lb skinless, boneless chicken breast, sliced thin

Preparation ​

1. Combine soy sauce, lime juice, water and cornstarch in a small bowl, mix together and set aside.
   
2. Season chicken lightly with salt. Heat a large wok over high heat.
