🥘 Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 large bell peppers (any color), sliced
  • 2 cups snow peas, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce (low-sodium)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish (optional)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, and grated ginger. Set aside.
  2. In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Add the sliced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add the sliced bell peppers and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until they start to soften.
  5. Add the sliced snow peas and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they're tender but still crisp.
  6. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
  7. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour in the soy sauce mixture. Stir everything together to combine.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then garnish with fresh cilantro leaves if desired.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
