Ingredients
- 600 grams Boneless skinless chicken breast
- 1 large Egg
- 30 grams Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 60 ml Soy sauce
- 30 ml Sriracha sauce
- 15 ml Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 medium Green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 2 pieces Scallions, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breast into thin strips.
Step 2
In a bowl, whisk the egg. In another bowl, mix the coconut flour with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Dip the chicken strips in the egg, then dredge them in the coconut flour mixture, ensuring all sides are coated.
Step 4
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook until they are golden and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Step 5
In the same pan, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 6
Add soy sauce, sriracha sauce, rice vinegar, and ginger to the pan. Stir well to combine and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Add the sliced green and red bell peppers to the sauce, cooking until they are just tender, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 8
Return the cooked chicken to the pan, tossing it in the sauce to coat it thoroughly. Let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Step 9
Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped scallions over the chicken and serve immediately.
