    Japanese Chicken Stir Fry

    Fitbody Bootcamp

    Ingredients

    • 1 head of cauliflower
    • ¼ of a cup of coconut aminos
    • ¼ of a cup of mirin (sweet rice wine)
    • 1 tablespoon of coconut nectar
    • 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
    • 2 tablespoons of organic chicken broth
    • 3 teaspoons of sesame oil, divided
    • 1 lb. of skinless and boneless chicken breasts
    • 8 oz. of snow peas, halved lengthwise diagonally
    • 1 bunch of green onions, cut into 1-inch pieces

     

    Instructions

    1. Wash the cauliflower, discard the leaves, and chop into small pieces. Grate the pieces with a food processor. In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the shredded cauliflower. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until tender. Season with salt and pepper. Serve as you would traditional rice.
    2. Combine the coconut aminos, mirin, coconut nectar, apple cider vinegar, and chicken broth in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, and simmer for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
    3. Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons of toasted sesame oil to a pan. Swirl to coat. Add the chicken breasts to a pan. Cook for 3 minutes or until browned on each side. Transfer them to a cutting board. Cool slightly. Cut into 1-inch slices.
    4. Return the pan to medium-high heat. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame oil to the pan. Add the snow peas and onions. Sauté for 2 minutes. Add the coconut amino mixture and chicken to the pan. Cook for 2 minutes or until the liquid is syrupy and the chicken is thoroughly heated, stirring frequently. Place 1 cup of rice in each of the 4 shallow bowls. Top each serving with 1 cup of the chicken mixture.
