Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 3 medium bell peppers (any color)
- 1 large onion
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons cilantro
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the ingredients: slice the chicken breasts into thin strips, slice the bell peppers into thin strips, and slice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves and grate the fresh ginger.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken strips with freshly ground black pepper, sea salt, and coconut aminos. Toss to coat the chicken evenly and let it marinate for 10 minutes while preparing other ingredients.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated chicken pieces. Cook for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
Add the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil to the same skillet. Add the sliced onions and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onions become translucent.
Step 5
Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Stir fry the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
Step 6
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and add the grated ginger. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the Paleo Pepper Chicken with chopped cilantro.
Step 8
Serve the Paleo Pepper Chicken hot, garnished with extra cilantro if desired.
