🥘 Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds 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. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.
  2. In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 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 sliced bell pepper and mixed vegetables to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
  7. Pour the soy sauce mixture into the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute, until the sauce is bubbly and slightly thickened.
  8. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables and sauce.
  9. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.
