Preparation
Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, mix the lime juice (½ oz), lime zest (½ oz), and soy sauce (1 Tbsp). Set aside.
Cook the chicken: Heat coconut oil (2 Tbsp) in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken slices (6 oz) and cook until they are browned and fully cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Stir-fry the vegetables: In the same pan, add more coconut oil if needed, then sauté minced garlic (1 clove), minced ginger (1 Tbsp), and red chili pepper (¼ cup) until fragrant. Add the diced green bell peppers (¼ cup), diced red bell pepper (4 tsp), snap peas (¼ cup), and chopped carrot (1.) Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Combine and serve: Return the chicken to the pan, pour in the sauce, and mix well to coat everything evenly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro (¼ cup) before serving, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
