Healthy Sesame Chicken

INGREDIENTS

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1 inch cubes
• 1/2 tablespoon avocado oil
• 1/4 cup coconut aminos
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 tablespoon garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon lime zest (zest of one lime)
• 1 tablespoon lime juice (juice of one lime)
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
• 2 cups cooked green beans
• 1 cup cooked white rice

INSTRUCTIONS

1. 1 Prep your chicken by cutting into small cubes. Cook white rice and green beans according to directions.
2. 2 In a pan, heat avocado oil for 1 minute. Add chicken to the pan and sauté chicken over medium high heat until browned on all sides, approximately 10-12 minutes.
3. 3 While chicken is cooking, whisk together the sauce.
4. 4 Once chicken is cooked, remove from the pan + set aside.
5. 5 Pour sauce mixture into the hot pan (no need to clean it!) and cook for 3-5 minutes over medium high heat until it starts to bubble, stirring consistently. The sauce will thicken quickly, but be careful to watch that it doesn't burn.
6. 6 Add cooked chicken back into the pan and coat in sauce.
7. 7 Serve sesame chicken over cooked rice and green beans.
