Ingredients

  • low-sodium chicken broth (4 cups)
  • quinoa (2 cups)
  • coconut oil (1 tablespoon)
  • boneless skinless chicken breast (1 large)
  • carrots (2 )
  • green onions (2 )
  • shredded cabbage (0.75 cup)
  • edamame (0.5 cup)
  • diced broccoli stems (0.25 cup)
  • eggs (3 )
  • sesame oil (1 teaspoon)
  • natural peanut butter (0.25 cup)
  • reduced-sodium soy sauce (0.25 cup)
  • rice wine vinegar (3 tablespoons)
  • chili garlic sauce (2 tablespoons)
  • chopped fresh ginger (2 tablespoons)
  • garlic (3 cloves)
  • salted peanuts (0.5 cup)
  • chopped fresh cilantro (3 tablespoons)

Instructions

  1. Bring chicken broth and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside.
  2. Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons coconut oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; stir until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate. Heat remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons coconut oil in wok. Add carrots, green onions, cabbage, edamame, and broccoli stems; sauté until vegetables soften slightly, 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Whisk eggs and 1 teaspoon sesame oil together in a small bowl. Push vegetables to sides of wok to make a well in the center. Pour in eggs; stir to scramble, about 3 minutes.
  4. Combine peanut butter, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, chili garlic sauce, ginger, garlic, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil together in a small bowl; pour over vegetables and egg mixture in wok.
  5. Return chicken to wok; stir in quinoa until combined. Stir in chopped peanuts and cilantro; serve.
