Time: Approx. 30 minutes
Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp cooking oil of choice (coconut, avocado, olive are great)
- 2 lbs (6-8) thawed chicken thighs, cut into 1″ cubes.
- 16 oz sugar snap peas
- 2 red bell peppers, cut into strips
- salt & pepper, to taste
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Tbsp fresh grated ginger
- 1/2 c coconut aminos (this is a soy sauce alternative, Tamari sauce can also be used as a low-sodium soy sauce)
- 1/2 c water
- 1/4 c rice vinegar
- 2 Tbsp arrowroot powder (or 4 Tbsp of corn starch)
Garnish (optional)
- 1/2 c green onions or scallions, sliced
- black and white sesame seeds, sprinkled
Directions
- Heat a large on-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 Tbsp of oil and heat until glistening. Add cubed chicken, with salt and pepper, and cook for about 5-7 minutes – or until chiken pieces are cooked through.
- Once the chicken is done, remove from skillet or wok and place in a bowl or plate, cover, and set aside. Add snap peas and bell peppers. Cook for 3 minutes. Add ginger & garlic, cook for another 6 minutes or until al dente.
- While vegetables are cooking, create a mixture of coconut aminos, water, rice vinegar, and arrowroot powder. Mix until well combined.
- When the vegetables are done, turn heat to medium-low. Add chicken and combine. Add the liquid mixture and simmer until sauce thickens about 5 minutes.
- Garnish with sliced green onions and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve warm
