🥘 Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup mixed bell peppers (green, red, yellow)
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce (low-sodium)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
