1 tbsp ginger, freshly grated
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 cups bell peppers, diced
3 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
Instructions
Heat the sesame oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the ground chicken to the pan and break into small crumbles with a spatula.
Cook until the chicken is fully browned and cooked through, then remove and set aside.
Add the diced bell peppers to the same skillet and sauté for 3-5 minutes until crisp-tender.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet.
Pour in the soy sauce and toss everything together to coat thoroughly.
Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Notes
You can substitute ground turkey if preferred. For a gluten-free option, use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce. Feel free to add other vegetables like snap peas or shredded cabbage based on availability.
