🥘 Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 large bell peppers (any color), sliced
  • 2 cups mixed mushrooms (button, cremini, shiitake), sliced
  • 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce (low-sodium)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish

👨‍🍳 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 and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
  5. Add the sliced bell peppers and cook for 4 minutes, until they start to tenderize.
  6. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 5 minutes.
  7. Add the grated ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for 1 minute.
  8. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables and sauce.
  9. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.
  10. Serve hot and enjoy!
