Instructions
- Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 3 cloves minced garlic and 2 tbsp grated fresh ginger, sauté for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
- Step 2: Add 1 lb ground chicken to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is no longer pink and starts to brown slightly.
- Step 3: Stir in 1 diced red bell pepper and 1 diced yellow bell pepper, cooking for 4-5 minutes until the peppers are tender-crisp.
- Step 4: Pour in 3 tbsp coconut aminos, then season with 1 tsp sea salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Stir well and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the chicken and peppers.
- Step 5: Remove from heat and sprinkle 2 thinly sliced green onions on top before serving warm.
