Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 medium carrot, julienned
• 1 cup snap peas
• 1 small onion, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 cup coconut aminos
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Begin by slicing the chicken breasts into thin strips or bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the sliced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger, stirring frequently until the onion becomes translucent, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil. Add the broccoli, red bell pepper, carrot, and snap peas. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 3-5 minutes or until they are crisp-tender.

Step 6

Return the chicken to the skillet with the vegetables.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, fish sauce, and red pepper flakes.

Step 8

Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet. Toss everything to coat evenly and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.

Step 10

Serve the Paleo Chicken and Vegetable Stir-Fry warm, and enjoy this nutritious meal immediately.
