deep frying pan

Ingredients

For the filling

2 Tbsp olive or avocado oil
4 organic chicken breast diced
1 red bell pepper diced
6 mushrooms chopped
1/2 yellow onion diced

For the marinade

1 cup low sodium chicken broth
2 Tbsp tamari (gluten-free soy sauce_
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1 tsp grated ginger
1 Tbsp rice vinegar
2 cloves garlic minced
2 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp red pepper flakes
2 Tbsp arrowroot powder

For serving

1 head butter lettuce
1 cup cashews
3 green onion diced
2 Tbsp sesame seeds
1 lime cut into wedges

Instructions

Heat the olive or avocado oil in a deep pan on low-medium heat on the stove
Dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces and add to the pan to start browning. Once the chicken is starting to cook through, add in the diced onion, mushrooms, and bell pepper. Cook for 5 minutes
Stir the sauce ingredients together in a large glass measuring cup or bowl and pour into the chicken and veggies. Stir together well. It will start to thicken as it cooks. If you want to thin out the sauce, add a splash more of chicken broth.
Once the chicken is cooked through, probably another 5 more minutes, transfer the mixture to a shallow bowl or platter and garnish with sesame seeds, cashews, and diced green onion. Serve with lime wedges and lettuce leaves on the side
