Ingredients

1 pound ground chicken

Stir Fry Sauce

1/3 cup coconut aminos
3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger (or freeze dried)
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon dried chives
1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional)
1 tablespoon arrowroot powder

Instructions

Preheat a large skillet over medium to medium high heat.
While skillet is preheating, make the stir fry sauce by combining the ingredients in a medium bowl. Stir well to ensure all the arrowroot powder is dissolved into the ingredients.
1/3 cup coconut aminos, 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger (or freeze dried), 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, 1 tablespoon dried chives, 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional), 2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional), 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
When the skillet is preheated, add the ground chicken and chop it up. Cook 4-6 minutes until cooked through.
1 pound ground chicken
Once the chicken is cooked (no longer pink), add the stir fry sauce and stir well. Cook 2-4 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Add any additional toppings like green onions, cashews, peanuts, sesame seeds or cilantro before serving.

Notes

Recipe tips for success

Stir the arrowroot (or tapioca or cornstarch) into cold or room-temperature liquid and whisk until dissolved. Adding it to hot liquid will cause clumping.
Add frozen peas or frozen peas and carrots directly to the ground chicken mixture to warm through. If you want to add other vegetables, remove the chicken from the skillet, cook veggies then add chicken back before adding the stir fry sauce (make a double batch to coat veggies).
