Ingredients

Stir Fry

1 lb Chicken Breast chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons Avocado Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 head Broccoli about 4 cups, chopped into florets
4 Garlic Cloves minced
1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger peeled and minced

Sauce

1/3 cup Coconut Aminos
1 teaspoon Sriracha
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
1/2 teaspoon Ginger Powder
2 teaspoons Arrowroot Powder
4 Scallions diced

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

First, blanch the broccoli florets in the microwave, place them in a large microwavable bowl and microwave on high for 2 minutes, stir and heat again for another minute or until they are slightly tender.
Mix together the sauce by combining the arrowroot powder, coconut aminos and Sriracha in a small bowl then set aside.
Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium high heat and add the oil. Once hot, add the chopped chicken with salt and pepper in a single layer. Sear for about 3 minutes, flip, and cook another 2 minutes or so or until cooked through. Remove to a plate and set aside.
Keep the pan juices and oil in the skillet and lower the heat to medium. Add the white part of the scallions, garlic and ginger and sauté until fragrant. Add the broccoli and chicken to the skillet, then the sauce and stir to coat well. The sauce should thicken right away so only cook long enough to combine flavors and heat through.
Remove from heat and serve hot over cauliflower rice or regular rice and garnish with the green part of the scallions. Enjoy!
