Ingredients

Sesame Chicken Ingredients

  • 1.25 lbs chicken (cut into 1-inch bite-sized cubes for even cooking)
  • 0.75 tbsp avocado oil (I prefer Chosen Foods for its high smoke point)
  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos (gives a deep umami flavor with less sodium)
  • 1.5 tbsp honey
  • 1.25 tbsp sesame oil
  • 0.75 tsp ginger (freshly grated for a spicy, aromatic kick)
  • 1 tbsp garlic
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar (I use Marukan seasoned rice vinegar)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp lime zest
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 2 cups green beans (trimmed and snapped into 2-inch pieces)
  • 1 cup white rice

Notes

Serve over white rice for a complete and satisfying meal.
