  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  3. Make cornstarch slurry by mixing 1 tbsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp cold water.
  4. Heat avocado oil in large skillet or wok over high heat. Cook chicken 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  5. Add broccoli and bell pepper to pan, stir-fry 3-4 minutes until bright and slightly softened.

Notes

  • Slice chicken thinly for even cooking and better sauce absorption.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan – cook in batches if necessary.
  • Use fresh ginger and garlic for best flavor.
  • Store leftovers in airtight container in refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently on stovetop to maintain texture.
