Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 ½ pounds cubed chicken thighs, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 2 large carrots, sliced
- 1 red pepper, diced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- ½ cup snow peas
Sugar Free Stir Fry Sauce
- ⅓ cup coconut aminos
- ¾ cup chicken broth
- 2 tsp fresh ginger
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tbsp tapioca flour, or arrowroot powder
- ¼ tsp lemon juice, optional
- 1 tsp sesame oil, optional
- 1 tsp chili paste, optional
- green onions, for garnish
Instructions
- First, add olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat.
- Once oil is hot, add cubed chicken to pan. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until cooked through.
- Remove chicken to a plate. Add all veggies to the hot skillet. Cook on medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes or until veggies have softened.
- While veggies are cooking, make stir fry sauce. Combine all stir fry ingredients (except green onions) in a bowl.
- Once veggies are softened, add cooked chicken back into skillet. Pour stir fry sauce over both chicken and veggies. Stir to combine.
- Bring mixture to a light boil then reduce heat to a low simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes or until sauce has thickened.
- Finally, remove from heat. Garnish with green onions if desired.
Notes
- Chicken thighs are typically more flavorful than chicken breasts. I recommend using thighs, but use breasts if desired.
- Feel free to use different veggies if desired.
- Check out my Sugar Free Stir Fry Sauce post for more information.
- The lemon juice, sesame oil and chili paste are completely optional. They add some bold flavor and spice to this sauce!
- Tapioca flour can be replaced by arrowroot starch or cornstarch (not Whole30 or Paleo).
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- To reheat, add to a skillet over low heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Heat until warmed.
