Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken breast
• 1 medium zucchini
• 1 red bell pepper
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 large carrot
• 1 small yellow onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 inch piece ginger
• 1 third cup coconut aminos
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon arrowroot powder
• 2 tablespoons water
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 green onions (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

Slice the zucchini and red bell pepper into thin strips. Thinly slice the onion, julienne the carrot, and mince the garlic and ginger.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, sesame oil, arrowroot powder, and water to create the sauce. Set aside.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until it is fully cooked through and browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the broccoli, carrot, zucchini, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 8

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour the prepared sauce over everything. Toss well to coat evenly.

Step 9

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly and coated the chicken and vegetables.

Step 10

Transfer the stir-fry to a serving dish and garnish with chopped green onions, if desired. Serve immediately.
