Description
This Ground Chicken and Veggie Stir Fry is inspired by my favorite takeout, but is a lot more nutritious and comes together even faster than ordering out! Cooked until tender, the ground chicken and veggies are coated in a savory, umami stir-fry sauce for a quick, one-skillet meal everyone around the table will love.

Instructions

- Prep your veggies: Slice the peppers and onions so they’re ready to go.
- Cook the ground chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add a bit of avocado oil and then add the ground chicken Season with a bit of salt and pepper and brown the ground chicken, breaking it up as it cooks. Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the pan and set aside.
- Sauté veggies: Keeping the skillet over medium-high heat, add a bit more avocado oil and then add the sliced onion, bell pepper, and snow peas to the pan. Sauté the veggies for 5-7 minutes or until the veggies have begun to soften but are still crisp.
- Finish the stir fry: Add the ground chicken back to the pan and stir until combined with the veggies. Next, add the stir fry sauce. Lower the heat to low and toss everything together. The sauce should begin to thicken quickly as it cooks.
- Serve the stir fry over cooked white rice and garnished with sesame seeds, green onion, and chili crisp/oil if desired. Enjoy!
