Scale
Protein
- 1 lb ground chicken
Vegetables
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced

Sauces & Oils
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce

Instructions
- Heat olive oil and sauté vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and red bell peppers and sauté them for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften and release their aromas.
- Add garlic and cook ground chicken: Stir in the minced garlic and add the ground chicken to the skillet. Cook, breaking up the chicken with a spatula, until it is browned and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes.
