Ingredients

  • 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon avocado oil divided
  • 1 cup zucchini sliced and quartered
  • 1/2 large red pepper sliced
  • 1 cup bok choy stems sliced
  • 1/2 pound pasture-raised chicken breast sliced
  • 3 tablespoons coconut aminos (or soy sauce)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon tahini
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons monk fruit (or coconut sugar)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh ginger minced
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha (or to taste)
  • 1 cup bok choy leaves sliced
  • 1 cup bean sprouts
  • 1/4 cup Thai basil packed
  • Salt to taste
  • Sesame seeds for garnish
  • Cauliflower rice or white rice for serving

Instructions

  • Heat the sesame oil and 1/2 tbsp of the avocado oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Add the zucchini, pepper, and bok choy stems and cook until lightly browned and tender, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tsp of avocado oil on medium heat. Add the chicken and sauté until golden brown and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
  • While the chicken cooks, whisk together the coconut aminos, lime juice, tahini, monk fruit, ginger, and sriracha in a small bowl.
  • Once the chicken is cooked, add the veggies and coconut amino mixture to the pan with the chicken. Boil for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
  • Add in the bok choy leaves, bean sprouts, and Thai basil, and stir until the leaves just begin to wilt, about 1-2 minutes. Season to taste with salt.
  • Serve over rice of choice garnished with sesame seeds.
