Instructions
Slice the chicken breast into thin, bite-sized strips.
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken strips to the pan, sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
