🥘 Ingredients

  • 1 pound 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, orange)
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce (low-sodium)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, and grated ginger. Set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Add the sliced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
  6. Add the mixed bell peppers, broccoli florets, and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.
  7. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour in the soy sauce mixture. Stir everything together to combine.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
