Ingredients

• 500 g Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Coconut oil
• 4 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp Fresh ginger, minced
• 1 tsp Red chili flakes
• 3 tbsp Soy sauce (or coconut aminos for gluten-free option)
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 2 medium Zucchini, sliced into matchsticks
• 2 medium Bell peppers (red, yellow, or green), sliced
• 200 g Broccoli florets
• 4 Green onions, sliced
• 1 tsp Chili paste (optional for extra heat)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and season with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the chicken strips to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Toss in the minced garlic, ginger, and red chili flakes. Stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the soy sauce (or coconut aminos), rice vinegar, and sesame oil, stirring to combine and create the sauce.

Step 6

Toss in the sliced zucchini, bell peppers, and broccoli florets. Stir-fry the vegetables for 5-7 minutes, or until they are crisp-tender.

Step 7

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and mix everything together. If extra heat is desired, stir in the optional chili paste at this stage.

Step 8

Cook for an additional 2 minutes to warm everything through and allow the flavors to meld.

Step 9

Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.

Step 10

Serve immediately as is or alongside a bed of cauliflower rice for a complete low-carb meal.
