🥘 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, chopped (for garnish)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Heat the 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. Add the sliced onion to the skillet and cook until softened, 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. 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 chopped fresh cilantro.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
