Honey Lime Chicken Thighs

Ingrédients

• 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

Préparation

1. 1

   In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, lime juice, lime zest, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, and salt.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl, toss the chicken with 1/4 cup of the sauce. Leave at room temperature to marinate for 15 minutes.

3. 3

   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.

4. 4

   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.

5. 5

   Turn off the heat, stir in the butter. Then top with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve over cooked white, brown, or cauliflower rice.
