Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 0.25 cup coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 3 green onions, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Begin by preparing your ingredients. Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and set aside. Slice the red bell pepper and green onions, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger.
In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and season with sea salt and black pepper. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and sliced red bell pepper. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the peppers start to soften.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for another 4-5 minutes, or until the broccoli is bright green and just tender.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour in the coconut aminos and toss everything together. Allow the mixture to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
Sprinkle the sliced green onions and sesame seeds over the stir-fry and give it one final toss.
Serve the chicken and broccoli stir-fry hot, on its own or alongside cauliflower rice for a complete Whole30 meal.
