Is soy sauce gluten free?
No, many brands are not gluten free because they use wheat in their recipe. I’ve found a certified gluten free brand like Tamari. Or, if you’re OK with just going off of the label, La Choy doesn’t have any wheat on their label either.
What can I use in place of soy sauce if I have a soy allergy?
I find that coconut aminos are a wonderful substitute for soy sauce in both this Korean Chicken, as well as any other Asian dish.
Do I have to use chicken as the protein in the Korean Chicken?
No, any ground meat will do.
Is there any other vegetable I can use in this Korean Chicken dinner?
Yes, I prefer broccoli, but any vegetable will do–which is great when it comes time to clean out the fridge. Bok choy would be more of a tradition vegetable, or you could use a medley, baby corn or even omit the vegetables all together. Whatever suits your fancy.
Do you have any other gluten free Chinese dishes?
Yes, we LOVE Chinese food at our house, but because of nut, gluten and egg allergies, I have had to come up with my own recipes. You’ll love these gluten free substitutes:
- Gluten free Lo Mein (meatless too!)
- Gluten Free Instant Pot Bacon Ramen Noodles
- Gluten & Dairy Free Thai Coconut Soup
- Gluten Free Chicken Teriyaki Stir Fry
- Gluten Dairy & Egg Free Asian Quinoa Meatballs
- Gluten Free Ham Fried Rice
- Gluten Free Black Pepper Chicken

Do you have a video showing how to make the Korean Chicken & Broccoli?
Yes, I do! I like to use TikTok because their videos are short and succinct. This general overview should give you a good idea of how to make this 30 Minutes Korean Chicken & Broccoli. I also have the video saved to my Instagram Highlight Bubbles. Enjoy!

30 Minute Korean Chicken and Broccoli (GF, DF, Egg, Soy, Peanut/Tree nut Free, Top 8 Free)
A sweet heat, no fuss, easy weekday meal that's done in 30 minutes and gluten free!
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup gluten free soy sauce (if you are soy free, you can use coconut aminos)
- 1 Tablespoon sesame oil (if you have a sesame allergy, it's great without it, just sub in olive oil)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon Sriracha sauce (or more to taste)
- salt and pepper
- 1 bunch green onions, diced for garnish
- 2 heads of broccoli, washed and cut
- Two cans of drained water chestnuts (optional)
- Brown or white rice, cooked
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook chicken with garlic in the sesame oil (or olive oil if needed).
- Add brown sugar, soy sauce, ginger, salt, pepper, and sriracha. Simmer for a few minutes to blend the flavors and chicken is cooked through.
- Take the chicken out, set aside and keep covered to stay warm.
- Put the broccoli in the pan with the remaining sauce and cook until bright green and softened.
- If using, add the drained water chestnuts and chicken mixture back into the sauce with the broccoli. Stir to combine everything.
- Serve the chicken and broccoli mixture over steamed rice and top with green onions.

I made this tonight! Quick and easy. So good. We had just enough for one person to eat leftovers tomorrow and my son and husband were fighting over who would get them

We made this tonight but modified a little by cooking it in the instant pot. It was a huge hit! Thank you!!!

I’m so happy to hear it. Thanks for the feedback Brook. If you haven’t already, it’d be so helpful if you clicked the stars in the recipe to rate it. Thanks!
