Ingredients

Chicken

Instructions

  • Cut the bell pepper and celery stalks into big chunks and set aside in a bowl.
  • Heat a large skillet to medium-high heat and chop the boneless, skinless chicken thighs into bite sized chunks. Add coconut oil to the hot skillet and add in the chunks of chicken.
  • As the chicken cooks, make the sauce. Add all the sauce ingredients above to a bowl and combine using a whisk. Set aside.
  • Once the chicken is 90% cooked through add in the veggies and cook for a couple minutes until they are slightly tender.
  • Add in the peanuts and stir and allow to cook for another minutes as they toast. Add in the ginger and garlic, stir once more and add in the sauce.
  • Allow to cook for 3-5 minutes on high until the sauce has reduced to your liking. If desired, add the xanthan gum to thicken up the sauce even more.
  • Serve with cauliflower rice or on its own and enjoy!
