As always, I used coconut aminos instead of soy sauce. I honestly don’t remember the last time I used soy sauce, TBH & with reason!  Coconut aminos is a much healthier, more nutritious alternative & it packs way less sodium, tons of amino acids, boosts heart health & has tons of digestive health benefits!

Before we get into the recipe, let me just tell you that I give you two options for how to heat your skillet: coconut oil cooking spray or sesame oil. Now, while I do freaking adore my coconut oil cooking spray, with this recipe, I am 100% SERIOUS when I say that you NEED the sesame oil. It really does add so much more flavour to the recipe & gives it that Asian kick!

INGREDIENTS:

• Coconut oil cooking spray OR 1 tbsp. organic toasted sesame oil
• 2 small white onions or 1 medium, cubed
• 1 package extra-lean ground chicken
• 1/2 cup organic coconut aminos
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• Juice of 1 lime (or lemon)
• 1 tsp. Sriracha
• Sea salt & black pepper to taste
• 5 green onions
• 1/2 cup organic Valencia or jungle peanuts

TO MAKE:

• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat & spray with coconut oil OR add 1 tbsp. sesame oil.
• Once heated, add the onion & sauté until browned, translucent & fragrant.

• Lower the heat. Remove the skillet from the stove & add the chicken, cilantro, coconut aminos, lime, spices, garlic & Sriracha.

• Increase heat to medium-high & sauté the chicken with the rest of the ingredients until no longer pink & almost cooked through. You’ll know it’s nearly done once the liquids are absorbed!
• Throw in the green onion & peanuts & cook for another 3 minutes, until combined & peanuts are lightly toasted.
• Remove from the heat & ENJOY!
