Sweet and Spicy Stir-fry (THM: E, low-fat)

Yield 4-6 servings

Ingredients

1 t. coconut oil
1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breast, diced
1 large head of broccoli, cut into small florets
1/2 bag of frozen peas
1 red bell peppers, cut into thin strips
1 c. quinoa (make sure you rinse it first) or brown rice
2 c. water or FF chicken broth
Sweet & Spicy stir-fry sauce

Sweet & Spicy Stir-fry Sauce:

1/2 c. FF chicken broth
1/8 t. xanthan gum or glucomannan, optional
3 T. Bragg's Liquid Aminos or soy sauce
1 T. + 1 t. hot sauce (I used Frank's Red Hot Sauce) OR 1 1/2 t. Sriracha ***
1/8 t. THM Sweet Blend
1 clove of garlic, minced
3 dashes of crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

In a small saucepan, bring to boil the water (or chicken broth) to boil for the rice or quinoa. Cook to package directions. In a large skillet, melt the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until the meat is cooked through.
If you're using frozen vegetables, place them in a strainer and run them under hot water for about 2 minutes.In a small bowl combine all the ingredients for the sauce and set aside.
Add the veggies to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently for 3 minutes. Add the sauce and cook until the veggies are just tender, about 8-10 minutes.
Serve over 1/2-3/4 c. quinoa or brown rice.

Notes

***This amount of hot sauce will give you a nice medium spice; if you'd like mild use 3/4 t. hot sauce. If you'd like it really spicy, the use 1 1/2 T. hot sauce.
