Gluten Free Garlic Red Pepper Chicken by clean monday meals

 

Gluten-Free Garlic Red Pepper Chicken

Want a great meal with a little spice? Your taste buds will have a party when they try the Clean Monday Meals recipe for Gluten-Free Garlic Red Pepper Chicken.

And if you’re wondering how spicy it is, just know that I am not a lover of spicy things, so this would be considered pretty mild by those who love spicy food.

Ingredients: 

  • 1 tbsp cooking olive oil
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 16 oz fresh green beans
  • 1 tbsp grass-fed butter
  • 3 tbsp coconut aminos
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 1/2 tsp minced garlic or 3 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions: 

  1. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to a large saute pan or cast-iron skillet—heat on medium-high.
  2. Dice your chicken breasts into chunks approximately 1 inch thick. Once the pan is hot, add your chicken. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and dried basil on top of chicken. Stir—Brown on both sides.
  3. When the chicken is browned, add butter, coconut aminos, garlic, ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir.
  4. Chop your green beans into halves or thirds and add to the pan. Stir.
  5. Cover and cook on medium to medium-low heat for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Chicken should be cooked through, and green beans should be softened but not totally wilted.
  6. Serve with rice or zoodles.
