🥘 Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups mixed bell peppers (green, red, yellow)
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 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 5-6 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 minced garlic, grated ginger, and cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
  5. Add the mixed bell peppers, broccoli florets, and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce and sesame oil. Pour the sauce over the vegetables and stir to combine.
  7. Return the cooked chicken 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 immediately and enjoy!
