Ingredients:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approx. 400g)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 1 cup carrots, julienned
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 4 cups cooked brown rice

Instructions:

1. Preparation:

Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips.

‍

2. Chicken:

Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sliced onion to the pan. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.

Add chicken strips to the pan and cook until browned and cooked through (approximately 5-6 minutes). Remove cooked chicken from the pan and set aside.

‍

3. Vegetables:

In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas, and carrots. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.

‍

4. Sauce:

In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Pour the sauce over the vegetables and stir to coat evenly.

‍

5. Finishing touch:

Return the cooked chicken to the pan and stir-fry for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through and combine flavors.

Serve the stir-fried chicken and vegetables over a bed of cooked brown rice.
