Hormone-Regulating Chicken and Vegetable Stir-Fry
This hormone-regulating chicken and vegetable stir-fry is a quick and easy way to get a healthy meal on the table. The chicken is cooked in coconut oil, which is a good source of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). MCTs are a type of fat that is easily absorbed and used for energy. They have also been shown to have a number of health benefits, including boosting metabolism and reducing inflammation. The vegetables in this stir-fry are also a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
I first developed this recipe when I was looking for a way to get more vegetables into my diet. I had been reading about the health benefits of MCTs, and I was intrigued by the idea of using coconut oil to cook. I experimented with a few different recipes, and this one quickly became a favorite. It's easy to make, it's delicious, and it's packed with nutrients.
