Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp coconut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb thinly sliced chicken breast and season with 1/2 tsp sea salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until chicken is browned and cooked through; remove from skillet and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Add remaining 1 tbsp coconut oil to the same skillet. Add 3 cups broccoli florets and sauté for 4 minutes until crisp-tender.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves and 2 tbsp grated fresh ginger. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Return chicken to the skillet, add 3 tbsp coconut aminos, and toss everything together. Cook for 2 more minutes until the sauce slightly thickens and coats the chicken and broccoli.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions before serving.
