Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breasts
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 cup coconut aminos
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece ginger
- 1 medium onion
- 1 large bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 stalks green onions
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with 1 teaspoon of sea salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.
Step 2
Peel and finely chop the garlic and ginger, and slice the onions, bell pepper, and green onions.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix 1 cup of chicken broth with 2 tablespoons of arrowroot powder until smooth. Set aside.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of avocado oil.
Step 5
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes until they are lightly browned and just cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 6
In the same skillet, add the chopped garlic, ginger, and sliced onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent.
Step 7
Add the sliced bell pepper and stir-fry for another 2 minutes until just tender.
Step 8
Pour in the coconut aminos, the remaining 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and the chicken broth mixture. Stir well and let it come to a simmer.
Step 9
Once the sauce starts to thicken, return the chicken to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to ensure the chicken is heated through.
Step 10
Sprinkle the sliced green onions over the top, stir once more, and remove from heat.
Step 11
Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful Whole30 Pepper Chicken!
