🥘 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-sodium)
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 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 the chicken 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 minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
  5. Add the sliced bell pepper and mixed vegetables to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using). Pour the sauce over the vegetables and stir to combine.
  7. Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables and sauce.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.
  9. Serve hot and enjoy!
