Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb thinly sliced chicken breast and sauté for 5-6 minutes until cooked through and golden on the edges. Remove chicken and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp sesame oil, 2 tbsp minced fresh ginger root, and 3 minced garlic cloves. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add 2 medium julienned carrots, 1 medium julienned parsnip, and 1/2 small julienned celeriac to the skillet. Stir-fry for 6-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. Step 4: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add 3 tbsp coconut aminos, 1 tsp sea salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes if using. Toss everything together and cook for another 2 minutes until heated through and the sauce slightly thickens.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 thinly sliced green onions before serving.
