Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground chicken
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium Zucchini, diced
- 1 large Carrot, grated
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 pieces Scallions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the ground chicken to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon or spatula, and cook until it's browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
Once the chicken is cooked, add the diced red bell pepper, diced zucchini, and grated carrot to the skillet. Stir to combine.
Pour in the coconut aminos and apple cider vinegar. Add the grated fresh ginger, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything well.
Let the mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.
Once cooked, remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the chopped scallions and cilantro to add freshness to the dish.
Optionally, sprinkle with sesame seeds for added texture.
Serve warm on its own, as a filling for lettuce wraps, or in stuffed peppers for a delicious Whole30 meal.
