Ingredients

• 5 – 6 skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces


• Salt and black pepper to taste


• 2 teaspoons garlic powder


• ½ cup coconut aminos


• ½ cup chicken broth


• 1 tablespoon tapioca starch


• 1 teaspoon ginger (see notes)


• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (see notes)


• 4 tablespoons olive oil, separated


• 6 garlic cloves, minced


• 8 oz. mushroom, sliced


• 1 lb. asparagus, woody stems trimmed, sliced into 1-inch pieces


• 1 bunch scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced


• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (I used black sesame seeds)

Instructions

• Season chicken with salt, pepper and garlic powder.


• Mix coconut aminos, chicken broth, tapioca starch, and ginger in a small bowl until well combined and no lumps.


• Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook about 8 -10 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink and cooked, stirring occasionally. Remove chicken from the skillet and reserve.


• Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the same skillet. Add garlic and sauté, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add mushrooms and asparagus and cook until slightly tender, about 5 minutes. Return the chicken to the pan and stir in the reserved coconut aminos mixture; toss to heat through. Bring to a full boil to thicken.


• Garnish with sliced and scallions and sesame seed, if desired.


• Server with mashed potatoes, white rice, quinoa, or vegetables.
