Ingredients
Servings
4
- 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil or other neutral oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 medium carrot, julienned or thinly sliced
- 3 green onions, sliced (white and green parts separated)
- 1/4 cup coconut aminos (Whole30 approved soy sauce alternative)
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce (check for Whole30 compliance)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional for flavor, check Whole30 compliance)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for mild heat)
- Fresh cilantro or basil leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
-
Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
-
Add the sliced chicken breasts and season lightly with salt and pepper. Stir-fry until the chicken is cooked through and slightly golden, about 5-6 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
-
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of avocado oil.
-
Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and the white parts of the green onions. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
-
Add the red bell pepper, zucchini, broccoli florets, and carrot. Stir-fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
-
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables.
-
Pour in the coconut aminos and fish sauce, stirring well to combine all the ingredients.
-
Drizzle sesame oil over the stir-fry if using, and sprinkle with red pepper flakes if desired.
-
Cook everything together for another 2 minutes so the flavors meld and the sauce slightly thickens.
-
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or more coconut aminos as desired.
-
Remove from heat and garnish with the green parts of the green onions and fresh cilantro or basil leaves if using.
-
Serve immediately on its own or over cauliflower rice for a complete low-carb, Whole30 compliant family meal.
Storage and Reheating
Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat and add a splash of coconut aminos or water if the sauce tightens.
