With this simple yet amazingly tasting citrus chicken stir-fry recipe, the boring and tasteless chicken recipes that you know are a thing of the past. This recipe is so flavorful, but most importantly it has everything that your body needs. So, do not wait for a second longer and treat yourself.

For the stir-fry sauce, you are going to need: two tablespoons of coconut aminos (you can also substitute coconut aminos with low-sodium soy sauce if necessary), one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, half a tablespoon of garlic paste, one tablespoon of Sriracha, one tablespoon of ginger, juice from two clementines, and optionally, raw organic honey for additional flavor and one tablespoon of arrowroot starch to thicken up the sauce.

In it, you need to mix the ingredients for the sauce. Next up, chop the chicken into bite-size pieces and get a nonstick skillet.
