Units Scale

For the sauce

  • 1/3 cup orange juice
  • 3 tbsp chicken broth
  • 3 tbsp coconut aminos
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar (sub apple cider vinegar for AIP)
  • 2 tsp coconut sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp arrowroot starch
  • Salt and pepper (omit pepper for AIP)
For the stir fry
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 cup carrots, sliced thin
  • 1 cup sugar snap peas (sub more broccoli for AIP)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 lb chicken breast, cubed
  • Salt & pepper (omit pepper for AIP)
  • 2 tbsp arrowroot
  • 1 inch ginger, peeled and grated
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp green onion, sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sauce by combining in a small bowl and set aside.
  2. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and toss to coat in arrowroot starch. Set aside.
  3. Using a large pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the vegetables and saute for 6-7 minutes or until tender. Set aside.
  4. Add more avocado oil if needed to the pan and bring to medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer, being careful to not allow the chicken to touch too much to ensure it crisps well (cook in batches if needed). Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through to 165 F. Set aside
  5. Add the garlic and ginger to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes or until lightly fragrant. Add the sauce and stir to remove any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow to heat for 2-3 minutes to thicken.
  6. Stir in the cooked chicken and vegetables and stir to coat in the thickened sauce.
  7. Serve topped with green onion over rice or cauliflower rice!
