🥘 Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 large broccoli crowns, cut into florets
  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced
  • 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce (low-sodium)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 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 it starts to soften, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add the minced garlic, sliced red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and sliced zucchinis to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add the grated ginger, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the flavors are well incorporated.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables and sauce.
  7. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
  8. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve hot.
