Step-by-Step Instructions for Healthy Sesame Chicken
- Start by cutting your boneless chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set them aside. While you’re doing this, cook the rice and green beans according to the package instructions.
- In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil over medium-high heat for about 1 minute until shimmering. Add the cubed chicken and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While your chicken cooks, whisk together the sauce ingredients in a bowl: combine coconut aminos, honey, toasted sesame oil, ground ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, black pepper, and optional lime zest and juice.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pan and set it aside. Pour the sauce mixture into the same pan over medium heat. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the thickening sauce, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cook together for another 2-3 minutes.
- Serve your Healthy Sesame Chicken over a bed of rice or cauliflower rice, pairing it with the steamed green beans for a pop of color. Generously sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
