Special Diet Notes: Asian Braised Chicken

By ingredients, this recipe is dairy-free / non-dairy, egg-free, gluten-free, and peanut-free.

For gluten-free and dairy-free Asian braised chicken, use wheat-free tamari ini place of the soy sauce. It is a seamless swap.

Though it wouldn’t be the same “with almond milk” dish, for tree nut-free and dairy-free Asian braised chicken, So Delicious offers Coconut Milk Beverage that can be used in place of the AlmondMilk.
