Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 yellow bell pepper
• 1 green bell pepper
• 1 medium onion
• 2 tbsp coconut oil
• 3 cloves minced garlic
• 1 inch piece fresh ginger
• 3 tbsp coconut aminos
• 0.5 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 0.5 tsp sea salt
• 2 stalks green onions
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro leaves

Directions

Step 1

Start by slicing the chicken breasts into thin strips and set them aside.

Step 2

Cut the red, yellow, and green bell peppers into thin strips. Slice the onion into thin wedges. Finely chop the fresh ginger and green onions. Set these aside with the other vegetables.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the chicken strips to the pan. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.

Step 5

In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Add minced garlic and chopped ginger, and sauté for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the sliced onions, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and green bell pepper to the pan. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 4-5 minutes, or until they are slightly tender yet still crisp.

Step 7

Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the vegetables. Pour in the coconut aminos and add the crushed red pepper flakes, black pepper, and sea salt. Stir everything together, ensuring the chicken and vegetables are well coated with the sauce.

Step 8

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until everything is heated through and the flavors are well combined.

Step 9

Remove the stir-fry from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and fresh cilantro leaves.

Step 10

Serve the Paleo Chicken and Bell Pepper Stir-Fry immediately. Enjoy your healthy and flavorful meal!
