Equipment

  • Medium bowl
  • Large non-stick skillet
  • Large bowl
  • Paper towel
  • Prep bowls

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine cornstarch, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the cubed chicken and toss until well coated.
  2. In a large non-stick skillet, add the avocado oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-8 minutes before flipping and cooking for another 5-8 minutes, until golden brown and fully cooked. Break up the pieces a bit as they cook.
  3. Transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  4. While the chicken cooks, mix the sauce ingredients in a large bowl. Set aside about 1/4 cup of the sauce.
  5. Once the chicken has drained, add it to the large bowl with the sauce and toss to coat.
  6. Add more avocado oil to the skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add the snow peas and Brussels sprouts, cooking for about 15 minutes.
  7. Add the shredded carrots and seasonings to the skillet. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
  8. While the vegetables cook, prepare the rice according to package instructions. Stir in the lime juice and fluff with a fork. Divide the cooked rice among prep bowls.
  9. Assemble the bowls by evenly dividing the cooked vegetables, chicken, and rice. Top with chopped green onions and drizzle with the reserved sauce.
