Lychee Lime Chicken Stir-Fry

This Lychee Lime Chicken Stir-Fry is a quick and easy weeknight meal that's packed with flavor. The chicken is cooked in a flavorful sauce made with lychees, lime juice, and soy sauce, and the vegetables are tender and crisp. Serve over rice or noodles for a complete meal.

I first had this dish at a Thai restaurant a few years ago, and I've been hooked ever since. The combination of sweet, sour, and savory flavors is irresistible. I've tried a few different recipes over the years, but this one is my favorite. It's easy to make, and it always turns out delicious.

Prep time: 15 | Cook time: 15 | Serves: 2

Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
• 1/2 cup chopped carrots
• 1/2 cup canned lychees, drained and chopped
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or coconut aminos)

Instructions

1. Heat coconut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
2. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides.
3. Add onion, bell pepper, and carrots and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
4. Stir in lychees, lime juice, and soy sauce.
5. Cook until chicken is cooked through and sauce has thickened, about 2 more minutes.
6. Serve over rice or noodles, if desired.

Why It Works

• The use of coconut oil adds a subtle sweetness and richness to the dish.
• Cooking the chicken until it's browned on all sides gives it a nice crispy texture.
• The combination of lychees, lime juice, and soy sauce creates a flavorful sauce that's both tangy and sweet.
• Stir-frying the vegetables quickly keeps them crisp and tender.
