Instructions

1. Step 1: Season chicken breasts with 1/4 tsp sea salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper on both sides. Heat 1 tbsp avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F), then remove and set aside.
2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tbsp avocado oil and the chopped mixed vegetables. Sauté over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp and edges are lightly caramelized.
3. Step 3: Whisk together coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, ground ginger, and 1/4 tsp sea salt in a small bowl. Pour sauce over vegetables and stir to coat. Simmer for 2 minutes until sauce thickens slightly and coats the vegetables.
4. Step 4: Return chicken to skillet, add diced avocado, and gently stir to combine. Heat for 1-2 minutes until avocado is warmed through but still creamy—do not mash.
5. Step 5: Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately for optimal electrolyte benefits.
