Ingredients
  • 2 lbs of chicken breasts, thawed
  • ¼ cup oil
  • Salt and Pepper
  • For the sauce:
  • 4 pitted dates
  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ cup Coconut Aminos
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • ½ tsp Ginger Powder
  • 1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • 1 T Red Curry Paste
  • 1 tsp Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
  • Saute Vegetables:
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper, sliced
  • 1 Yellow Onion, sliced
  • 2 Green Onion stalks, diced
  • 1 tsp Xanthan Gum
Instructions
  1. Heat up the skillet with olive oil in it. While it heats, cut the chicken breasts into chunks, salt and pepper the chicken chunks, then set aside.
  2. Slice the Red Bell Pepper, Yellow Onion, and Green Pepper.
  3. Add the chicken and vegetables to the hot skillet and sear on each side.
  4. While the chicken cooks, place the Pitted Dates, water, Coconut Aminos, Garlic Powder, Ginger Powder, Apple Cider Vinegar, Red Curry Paste and Red Pepper Flakes (if desired) into your single-cup blender (or regular blender) and blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce is well combined and the dates have been integrated into the sauce.
  5. By now, your chicken should be almost cooked through, so remove it from the pan and set aside.
  6. Add the sauce to the pan and whisk in the Xanthan Gum.
  7. Add the chicken and vegetables back into the pan, stirring to coat everything with the sauce. Cover the pan and let it simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced.
  8. Serve over your choice of vegetable, and enjoy!
