Ingredients

Scale
  • 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 minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish
  • 2 cups cooked green beans
  • 1 cup cooked white rice

Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes. Prepare the white rice and cook the green beans according to package instructions.
  2. Heat the avocado oil in a pan over medium-high heat for about 1 minute. Add the cubed chicken and sauté until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together coconut aminos, honey, toasted sesame oil, ground ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, black pepper, lime zest, and lime juice.
  4. Remove the cooked chicken from the pan and set aside.
  5. Pour the sauce mixture into the same pan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce starts to bubble and thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the pan and toss to coat in the sauce.
  7. Serve the sesame chicken over cooked white rice with green beans on the side, garnished with sesame seeds.
