Delicious Zero point chicken stir fry bowls
Ingredients:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
- 4 cups mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas, carrots, mushrooms)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce (optional, for heat)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Cooking spray (such as olive oil spray)

Instructions:
- Prepare the Chicken and Vegetables:
- Season the chicken strips with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and lightly coat with cooking spray.
- Add the chicken strips to the skillet and cook until they are browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Stir-Fry Sauce:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and Sriracha sauce (if using). Set aside.
- Cook the Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add more cooking spray if needed.
- Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet and stir-fry until they are tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
- Combine Chicken and Vegetables:
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables.
- Pour the stir-fry sauce over the chicken and vegetables.
- Stir well to coat everything evenly with the sauce.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Serve:
- Divide the chicken stir-fry mixture among bowls.
- Garnish with chopped green onions.
- Serve hot over cooked brown rice or cauliflower rice if desired.
