Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 large zucchini
- 2 medium carrots
- 1 large yellow onion
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons ghee or coconut oil
- 1 cup coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 stalks green onions
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes. Season with salt and black pepper and set aside.
Peel and julienne the carrots. Slice the zucchini into half moons. Dice the yellow onion, and chop the broccoli into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
Heat a large skillet or hibachi grill over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of ghee or coconut oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the cubed chicken to the skillet. Cook for about 5-6 minutes until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining ghee or coconut oil. Add the onions and carrots, and stir-fry for about 3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the zucchini and broccoli to the skillet and continue to stir-fry for another 4 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and return the chicken to the other side. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the chicken, then pour in the coconut aminos.
Mix everything together in the skillet and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring the chicken and vegetables are well coated in the sauce.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top and give the dish a final stir.
Remove from heat. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately.
