🥘 Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (such as broccoli, carrots, and snap peas)
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce (low-carb)
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
