Ingredients

Stir Fry:

2 lbs. ground chicken (organic, Get FREE high quality organic protein in every order here from Butcher Box.)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 zucchini (diced)
1 red bell pepper (diced)
1 bunch green onions (diced)
2 tsp ginger (minced)
2 tsp garlic (minced)

Sauce:

1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1/3 cup coconut aminos (organic)
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp chili paste
1 tbsp 1 cornstarch + 1 tbsp water to thicken (slurry)

Instructions

1
Preheat a large, deep skillet or wok with half of the olive oil over medium/high heat. Also whisk your firecracker sauce together in a glass measuring cup or small bowl and set aside.
2
Add the ground chicken. Sear on pan for a couple minutes before breaking up to create a nice sear and some crisp on the chicken. Season with salt & pepper to taste. Continue to break up and cook until fully cooked and then set aside on a plate.
3
Add the remaining oil to your pan, along with the green onions, bell pepper & zucchini. Sauté for a minute and then add the garlic & ginger. Cook for 4-5 minutes or so, or until the veggies are cooked down.
4
Add the chicken back into your pan. Reduce the heat to low and then add the sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens. Make the sauce even thicker by whisking in a slurry into the sauce (1 tbsp corn starch + 1 tbsp water). Serve over rice and enjoy!
