Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.25 cup coconut aminos
• 1 medium, sliced red bell pepper
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 medium, sliced into half-moons zucchini
• 1 large, julienned carrot
• 3 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon, minced fresh ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons avocado oil
• 1 teaspoon arrowroot powder
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 stalks, sliced green onions
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips and season lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, arrowroot powder, water, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes to make the stir-fry sauce. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook for 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of avocado oil. Add the broccoli, red bell pepper, zucchini, and carrot. Stir-fry the vegetables for 5-7 minutes until they are tender-crisp.

Step 5

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring until everything is evenly coated.

Step 6

Allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes, thickening slightly and coating the ingredients.

Step 7

Remove from heat and transfer the stir-fry to a serving dish. Garnish with sliced green onions and optional sesame seeds, if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy this Whole30-compliant, spicy, and healthy dish!
