I got this recipe from my friend Maren. She oozes all things health, beauty and goodness… and this recipe of hers is no exception. On a side note, I am going to throw out a shameless plug.

Okay, back the recipe. This Coconut Chicken Stir Fry is so quick and easy and uses only 7 ingredients. It is packed with protein, loaded with veggies and low in sodium. It is perfect for meal prepping for your lunches or just a quick weeknight dinner.
This recipe uses broccolini or baby broccoli, but you could easily substitute regular broccoli florets if you are not able to find broccolini at your local grocery store. The carrots are peeled into thin ribbons using a regular vegetable peeler.
You will want to use a really large skillet, there is a lot of food in one pan, but it does cook down quite a bit.
I promise you, this will become part of your regular dinner rotation. It is so incredibly tasty, its healthy and it is super quick to whip up.
