Ingredients
For the veggies and chicken
- 2 cups red cabbage chopped
- 2 cup zucchini chopped.
- 2 cups broccoli cut into small florets
- 1/2 cup onion chopped
- 1-2 clove garlic minced
- 10 oz skinless boneless chicken breast cut into bite-size pieces
- sea salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 tsp paprika powder
For the sauce
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp soy sauce/Tamari
- 1/2 cup fresh orange juice ½ cup orange juice = about 2 oranges
- 1/2 lime/lemon juice only (use less if using lemon)
- 1 tbsp raw sugar
Instructions
- Season chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika powder. Heat a large pot or wok with cooking oil (I used extra virgin coconut oil for the added flavor) over high heat. Cook chicken until lightly browned. Transfer to a plate.
- Reduce heat to medium. In same pan, sauté onion for 2 minutes. Add more oil if needed. Add garlic and cook for 2 minutes more before adding broccoli, zucchini, and red cabbage. Cook for 5 minutes more
- In a small bowl whisk together all sauce ingredients.
- Add chicken pieces and sauce to the veggie mix. Stir well, cover, and cook for 5-10 minutes. Stir frequently.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
Tamari and soy sauce share a similar color and flavor, and are both a byproduct of fermented soybeans. The only difference, Tamari is made without wheat and doesn’t contain any gluten.
