Let’s make an Easy Chicken and Veggie Stir-Fry!

Step 1: Steam veggies and prep chicken

First, steam your veggies in a large frying pan or wok until just soft, about 3-5 minutes. You will use this same pan for the rest of the dish so remove the steamed veggies and drain the pan. Then, cut the chicken into strips and toss in the arrowroot starch.

Step 2: Cook chicken and prep sauce

Next, heat avocado oil in frying pan or wok over medium heat. Add the chicken to the hot oil and cook for 5 minutes, tossing frequently. Then, prepare a sauce by combining coconut aminos or soy sauce, rice vinegar, fish sauce, honey, and sesame oil in a small mixing bowl.

Step 3: Mix it all together

Increase the heat to medium-high and add veggies and sauce to the pan with the chicken. Allow the sauce to bubble and thicken.

Then, toss the veggies and chicken in the sauce until fully coated. Finally, remove the pan from the heat and garnish with sesame seeds.

Step 4: Enjoy!

Serve this stir fry chicken and vegetables dish with rice or cauliflower rice and garnish with toasted sesame seeds!

    We LOVED this recipe! The sauce didn’t thicken up very much, but we ate it over rice and it was perfect. We used coconut aminos and we will probably use less next time because it was a little on the saltier side.

      Thanks for sharing Catherine! SO glad you enjoyed. Truthfully I don’t find the coconut aminos to be as salty as soy so perhaps it is the fish sauce that you would like to eliminate next. Either way so happy you liked it!!
