Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 600 grams Boneless skinless chicken breast
- 1 large Egg
- 30 grams Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 60 ml Soy sauce
- 30 ml Sriracha sauce
- 15 ml Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 medium Green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 2 pieces Scallions, chopped
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into thin strips.
In a bowl, whisk the egg. In another bowl, mix the coconut flour with salt and black pepper.
Dip the chicken strips in the egg, then dredge them in the coconut flour mixture, ensuring all sides are coated.
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook until they are golden and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add soy sauce, sriracha sauce, rice vinegar, and ginger to the pan. Stir well to combine and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Add the sliced green and red bell peppers to the sauce, cooking until they are just tender, about 3-4 minutes.
Return the cooked chicken to the pan, tossing it in the sauce to coat it thoroughly. Let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped scallions over the chicken and serve immediately.
