Step-by-Step Instructions for Healthy Sesame Chicken
- Begin by cutting the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes for even cooking. While you prepare the chicken, cook the white rice according to package instructions and steam or boil green beans until tender, about 4-5 minutes.
- In a large skillet, heat avocado oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add cubed chicken and sauté for 10-12 minutes until golden brown and no longer pink inside. Remove from the pan and let rest.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, honey, toasted sesame oil, ground ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, black pepper, lime zest, and juice until smooth.
- Pour the sauce mixture into the same skillet. Cook over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring consistently until it bubbles and thickens.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss gently in the bubbling sauce for 1-2 minutes, ensuring every piece is well-coated.
- Serve by dishing out the cooked rice, topping generously with the Healthy Sesame Chicken, and adding green beans on the side. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
