→ Optional for Serving
13 -
1 cup white rice, already cooked
14 -
2 cups green beans, steamed
# Instructions:
01 -
Dice the chicken into 1-inch chunks. Get the rice and green beans ready by following the directions from their packaging.
02 -
Warm up the avocado oil in a pan on medium-high heat for about a minute. Toss in the chicken and cook it, stirring now and then, until the pieces are golden on all sides—roughly 10 to 12 minutes.
03 -
As the chicken is cooking, grab a mixing bowl and stir together lime juice, lime zest, honey, coconut aminos, rice vinegar, sesame oil, powdered ginger, minced garlic, and a pinch of black pepper.
04 -
Take the cooked chicken out of the skillet and set it aside. Pour the mixed sauce into the same skillet, turn the heat to medium-high, and stir regularly for around 3 to 5 minutes, allowing the mixture to bubble and thicken without sticking or burning.
05 -
Add the cooked chicken back to the pan. Stir it well so every piece is coated in the thickened sauce.
06 -
Dish up the sesame chicken over a bed of rice and green beans. Sprinkle some sesame seeds on top if you'd like.
