INGREDIENT NOTES:
CHICKEN BREASTS:
- They provide the main filling and cook quickly in the recipe. Chicken breasts make the meal satisfying to serve as a main dish. You may use turkey breast as per your preference.
GREEN CABBAGE:
- It adds volume and becomes crispy when we cook it. Cabbage makes the meal filling and keeps the pleasant crunch. You may use savory cabbage as another choice.
AVOCADO OIL:
- This oil cooks the chicken and vegetables on high heat. It makes the chicken brown nicely and does not stick to the pan. Utilize grapeseed oil as a replacement.
COCONUT AMINOS:
- They give the main savory seasoning in he meal. These aminos make the base of the stir-fry sauce and give a delicious coating. You may use regular-sodium soy sauce as an alternative.
RICE VINEGAR:
- It makes the recipe bright and keeps the sauce from getting salty. You may use apple cider vinegar as another option.
