Ingredients:

• 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 

• 1 bell pepper (any color), sliced

• 1 carrot, sliced or diced 

• 3 garlic cloves, minced 

• 1‑inch piece fresh ginger, grated

• Juice of 1 lime 

• 4 cups low‑sodium chicken broth

• 1 cup coconut milk 

• 1 tbsp low‑sodium soy sauce

Directions:

1. Prep & sauté aromatics: In a large pot, heat a bit of oil over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger, sauté 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

2. Add veggies & chicken: Toss in sliced bell pepper and carrot, cooking another 2–3 minutes. Add chicken breasts and pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a gentle boil.

3. Simmer: Reduce heat, cover, and simmer about 15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.

4. Shred & enrich: Remove chicken, shred it with forks, and return it to the pot. Stir in coconut milk, lime juice, and soy sauce. Simmer 3–5 more minutes to warm through and balance flavors.

5. Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning. Enjoy hot—optionally garnish with fresh cilantro, scallions, or extra lime wedges.
