📝 Ingredients

• 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

1. 1In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, lime juice, lime zest, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, and salt.
2. 2In a separate bowl, toss the chicken with 1/4 cup of the sauce. Leave at room temperature to marinate for 15 minutes.
3. 3Heat 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. 4Pour 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. 5Turn off the heat, stir in the butter. Then top with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve over cooked white, brown, or cauliflower rice.
