Ingredients:
Makes 4 servings.
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into pieces
1 tsp coconut oil
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 cup asparagus tips
1 cup broccolini tips
1 yellow squash, diced
1 red onion, diced

1 tbsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 tbsp hoisin sauce

Preparation:
1. In a large pan, heat coconut oil over medium high with a dash of the sesame oil for flavor. Brown chicken breast pieces for a few minutes on each side until mostly cooked through (3-4 minutes). Remove chicken from pan and set aside.

3. Add red pepper flakes, garlic and ginger to pan and toss. Cook 1 minute.
4. Turn off burner and remove pan from heat. Add chicken pieces and hoisin sauce. Toss to coat and serve or set aside to cool before portioning out for your meal prep containers.
