Ingredients
2 tsp olive or avocado oil
3 eggs (whisked)
1 1/4 lb chicken breast (boneless, skinless cubed into 1 inch pieces)
12 oz broccoli slaw (bagged)
1 1/2 C red or green cabbage (shredded)
1 1/2 C shredded carrots
1 red bell pepper (seeded and sliced)
1 yellow onion (sliced, about 1 1/2 cups)
8 green onions (thinly sliced, white and green parts separated)
4 clv garlic (peeled and minced)
2 tsp grated fresh ginger (or 1/2 tsp dried)
Black pepper to taste
Sauce Ingredients
1 C almond or peanut butter (heat in microwave to loosen)
2 Tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce (If gluten free is desired, choose Tamari)
3 Tbsp lime juice
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
2 Tbsp rice vinegar
1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
Instructions
- Heat 1 tsp oil in a 12 inch non stick skillet over medium heat. Add the whisked eggs and scramble. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- To the same skillet, add the additional 1 teaspoon oil as well as the cubed chicken. Sauté 5 minutes until starting to brown. Next, add the remaining skillet ingredients, except the dark green parts of the green onion (the skillet will be very full until it cooks down). Continue to cook for 8-12 minutes carefully stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, combine the sauce ingredients and whisk until well combined and smooth.
- Once the veggies are tender and the chicken is cooked through, add the eggs back to the skillet, the dark green parts of green onion, and the sauce. Stir to combine and allow to cook for another 1-2 minutes or until heated through. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Recipe notes: Garnish with toasted chopped cashews or almonds, cilantro, sesame seeds or additional green onions.
