1-2 bell peppers, sliced
1 c onion, chopped
½ inch piece of ginger, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small bunch green onions, sliced
½ c chicken broth 2 Tb soy sauce

2. Heat pan (or wok) to medium high heat with 1/2 Tbsp coconut oil.
3. Add chicken to pan (in batches if necessary) and stir fry for 3-4 minutes (chicken doesn’t need to be fully cooked). Remove, and set aside.
4. Add remaining coconut oil to pan and saute bell pepper, snow peas, onion, ginger, and garlic for 2-3 minutes, until garlic and onion start to caramelize.
5. Add broth mixture to veggies and cook for 1 minute or until thick.
