Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/3 cup honey
- 2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
- Zest 1 lime
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp. grated ginger
- 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
- 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 1/4 lbs. boneless, skinless, chicken thighs, cut into strips
- 1-2 Tbsp. avocado oil or other high heat oil
- 2 Tbsp. butter
- 1 Tbsp. toasted sesame seeds
- 1-2 green onions, sliced
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, lime juice, lime zest, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, toss the chicken with 1/4 cup of the sauce. Leave at room temperature to marinate for 15 minutes.
- Heat avocado oil in a large skillet (at least 12-inch or bigger) over medium-high heat. With a pair of tongs, remove the chicken from the marinade and add to the pan, discarding the leftover marinade. Cook 3-4 minutes, or until barely cooked through, while stirring frequently.
- Pour the remaining sauce into the pan and bring to a simmer. Cook for about a minute while it slightly reduces and thickens, while stirring with the chicken.
- Turn off the heat, stir in the butter. Then top with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve over cooked white, brown, or cauliflower rice.
