Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 zucchini, sliced into half-moons
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 2 carrots, julienned
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 2 tsp arrowroot powder
  • 1/3 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 4 cups steamed cauliflower rice

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Add chicken to the pan and cook until no longer pink in the center, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    In the same skillet, add more oil if needed and sauté garlic and ginger for 1 minute until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add bell pepper, zucchini, broccoli, and carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.

  5. 5

    In a small bowl, whisk together coconut aminos, sesame oil, fish sauce, arrowroot powder, chicken broth, and optional red pepper flakes to make the sauce.

  6. 6

    Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour in the prepared sauce and toss everything to coat well.

  7. 7

    Simmer for 3 minutes until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the chicken and vegetables.

  8. 8

    Serve the stir fry immediately over freshly steamed cauliflower rice.

Chef's tip

For best results, ensure broccoli is crisp-tender, and serve immediately for optimal freshness. Optionally, garnish with sesame seeds or chopped scallions for extra flavor and presentation.
