Serves: 2
Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 15-20 mins
Ingredients:
• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (sliced into thin strips)
• 1 tbsp coconut oil or avocado oil
• 1 tsp sesame oil (for flavor)
• 1 tbsp liquid Aminos or Coconut Aminos (low-carb soy sauce alternative)
• 1 tsp rice vinegar
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
• ½ tsp chili flakes (optional, for heat)
• 1 cup chopped bok choy
• ½ cup thinly sliced bell peppers (red/yellow)
• ½ cup broccoli florets
• ½ cup zucchini (julienned or thinly sliced)
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh scallions
• Toasted sesame seeds or peanuts (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Marinate the chicken
In a small bowl, combine the tamari, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and a splash of sesame oil. Add the chicken strips, coat well, and let marinate while you prep the veggies.
2. Stir-fry the chicken
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
3. Stir-fry the veggies
In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed. Stir-fry the bok choy, bell peppers, broccoli, and zucchini for 3–5 minutes until just tender but still crisp. Don’t overcook—you want that crunch!
4. Combine & finish
Return the chicken to the pan. Toss everything together with remaining sesame oil and chili flakes. Stir-fry for another 2–3 minutes to blend flavors.
5. Serve
Garnish with scallions and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds or peanuts. Serve hot and enjoy!
