  8. Keep the heat on medium and add an addition 1 tbsp of avocado oil to the pan
  9. When the oil is hot add a small portion of the chicken to the pan – you will cook the chicken in batches so that it gets an even crisp
  10. Cook each batch of chicken (in my pan I did 3 batches) for about 4 minutes each tossing frequently until it is browned on all sides
  11. Once your final batch of chicken is browned on all sides, add of the chicken back into the pan along with the veggies and sauce you make earlier

  13. Reduce the heat to a simmer and simmer for 5 minutes tossing frequently
  14. The sauce should thicken slightlty and coat the chicken and veggies
  15. Once the chicken has simmered for 5 minutes, remove the pan from the heat and enjoy!
