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.

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.
