Each time I proceed somewhere fresh, I’m learning something about myself. And suppose where I am going next? Australia!
My sweetheart and I are leaving in less than 2 weeks; we’re beyond excited to explore gorgeous beaches, browse, snorkel, relax, hike, and eat amazing food.
I do feel just like I’m off to a good start though; my workout routines are constant and I am eating well. I’m actually into clean taking in lately (minimal processed foods). Since I LOVE Mexican and Asian tastes, I’ve been savoring a whole lot of vegetarian taco salads and veggie loaded meals like this chicken sesame stir fry!
AND THIS STIR FRY = ALL THE HEALTHY DELICIOUSNESS PACKED INSIDE A SKILLET.
I love this recipe because not only is it easy, but it’s actually pretty healthy. Simply chicken, spices, vegetables all in a skillet. The ginger coconut rice is certainly amazing and the cashews put in a delightful crunch.
Stir-frys are fantastic because it is possible to totally make them your own – add in pineapple, orange zest, your preferred veggies, or even extra spices. Don’t you love when quality recipes are versatile?
Anyway I challenge you to whip this up. Serve it to friends and family or loved ones. Just do not forget to conserve some for tomorrow’s lunch time… wrapped inside a burrito, maybe?

Prep time:
10 mins
Cook time:
35 mins
Total time:
45 mins
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 cup vanilla coconut milk (I utilized So Mouth watering Sugar-Free – but any will work)
2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
1 cup uncooked jasmine rice (I used Brown Jasmine Rice found at Trader Joe’s)
2 tablespoons sweetened coconut flakes
¼ glass cashews, crushed
2 tablespoons packed darkish sugar
2 tablespoons gluten free jello cheesecake free of charge soy sauce
1 tablespoon seafood sauce
1 tablespoon grain vinegar
1 teaspoons dark sesame oil
3/4 teaspoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons coconut or essential olive oil, divided
1 pound Just BARE Poultry Breasts, trim into chunks or bite sized pieces
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
In a moderate saucepan, provide coconut milk, rooster broth, and ginger to some boil. Once at a boil, add grain, cover and decrease high temperature to low. Make as directed on grain bundle or until rice is light and fluffy; mine often takes 30 minutes or so. Once done cooking stir in coconut flakes and smashed cashews.
While the rice is cooking, it is possible to prepare the chicken stir-fry: Within a medium bowl, stir collectively brown sugars, soy sauce, fish sauce, chili sauce (sriracha), sesame oil, and cornstarch; set aside.
Heat a wok or skillet over medium high heat. Add in 1 teaspoon of your coconut or olive oil. Once essential oil is sizzling hot and shimmering, add chicken and make until completed – about 4-5 a few minutes. Remember to stir the chicken every so often while cooking. Take away the chicken in the pan and place on a plate for later.
Add in another teaspoon of coconut or olive oil towards the skillet and add in garlic, snap peas, bell pepper, and broccoli; make for 4-6 mins or until vegetables are preferred consistency. Next add brown glucose- soy sauce combination towards the veggies and stir until the sauce thickens up a little – in regards to a minute or two. Finally add in poultry and toss altogether to coat chicken. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Divide consistently into 4 bowls – top with green onions if preferred.
This meal can be gluten free, just be sure to purchase all gluten free stuff like soy sauce, chicken broth, etc.
Feel free to make use of any coconut dairy. I find that the vanilla coconut milk adds a good sweetness to the grain.
I buy Sugars Free Vanilla Coconut Dairy from Entire Foods, but any coconut milk should work. You can also utilize the light canned coconut dairy; nevertheless, I wouldn’t suggest full fat if you’re trying to view your calorie consumption.
And this stir fry looks amazing, especially that coconut-ginger brown rice!
This sounds fantastic! I REALLY LIKE the flavors!
Have a blast in Australia! Can’t wait to see pictures, I’ve noticed its incredible!
Btw, Amber, the rice vinegar switches into the sauce elements.
