Total Time: 30 min.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup full-fat coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons crunchy organic peanut butter (or almond butter, for legume-free)
• 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
• 1 tablespoon avocado oil
• 14 ounces organic chicken breasts, boneless and skinless, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced
• 2 cups butternut squash, cubed
• 1 head broccolini
• 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes

Instructions

In a small bowl, make the stir-fry sauce by mixing the coconut milk, peanut butter and coconut aminos until smooth. Set aside. 

In a large skillet, add avocado oil over medium heat. When warm and shimmering, add diced chicken and cook for 4 minutes on each side, or until golden and cooked through to 165 degrees. Set aside. 

Add garlic, ginger, and butternut squash to the skillet. Cover and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until squash is tender. Add ¼ cup of water if necessary, to assist with cooking. 

Add broccolini, cover, and cook for an additional 4 minutes, or until vegetables are tender. 

Add the chicken back to the skillet, along with the sauce. Stir everything together and simmer for 2 minutes. Serve immediately as-is, with cauliflower rice, or with steamed basmati rice. Garnish with red chili flakes (to taste).
