Chicken "Lo Mein"

Another delicious, easy meal to add to our weekly arsenal
This one comes from the recipe book, "Make it Paleo" which has a TON of delicious recipes in it. 
Chicken "Lo Mein"
What you need:
Toasted sesame oil (we used coconut oil)
1 tbsp minced ginger (fresh ginger!)
1 tbsp minced garlic (we forgot this one and just used garlic powder)
1 lb. chicken, cubed
2 cups broccoli
1/2 water chestnuts (I'm not a fan, so we omitted these)
1/4 cup celery, chopped (Jason's not a fan, so we omitted this as well)
1/2 cup shiitake mushrooms, stems removed and cut in half
1/4 cup almonds, chopped
2 cups shredded cabbage
1/4 cup green onion, chopped
1/4 coconut aminos (we couldn't find this--we used tamari sauce, which is basically soy sauce but wheat free)
sesame seeds to garnish

What you do:
Heat the wok or skillet over high heat. 
Add sesame oil (or coconut oil), minced ginger, and garlic and sauté for 1 minute to allow the flavors to infuse the oil.
Add chicken to the wok (or skillet), and cook, stirring frequently for 3-4 minutes, or until the chicken is mostly cooked.  
Add in broccoli, water chestnuts, celery, and shiitake mushrooms; sauté for 2 minutes. 
Add in almonds, cabbage, and green onion.
Pour in coconut aminos (or tamari (or soy sauce if you must ;) )(2-4 tbsp).
Cook 2-3 minutes, until cabbage softens a little. 
Remove from heat, and garnish with sesame seeds.
