Ingredients
For the Sauce:
- 1 tbsp arrowroot powder (can use corn starch if not Whole30)
- 1 tbsp water
- 1/4 cup coconut aminos (can use soy sauce if not Whole30)
- 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 tbsp date syrup (can use honey if not Whole30. Or leave out completely)

- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tbsp fresh grated ginger
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cups shredded carrots
- 2 cups snap peas, chopped
- 2 chicken breast, cubed
- Rice or cauliflower rice for serving
Instructions
- Whisk together the arrowroot powder and water until smooth and no clumps remain. Whisk in remaining sauce ingredients until smooth and set aside.
- In a large pan, heat 1 tbsp olive oil on med-high heat. Add the carrots and snap peas and cook for 4 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the pan and set aside.
- Heat the second tablespoon of olive oil and add the chicken to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the sauce to the pan and bring to a simmer. Let simmer on low for 4 minutes or until sauce is thick and chicken is cooked through.
- Toss the vegetables with the chicken and sauce and serve over rice or cauliflower rice.
Notes
- I chose snap peas and carrots but feel free to change it up with whatever veggies you want! Broccoli would be an excellent addition.
