Ingredients
- 2 pound boneless skinless chicken breast
- 1/4 cup arrowroot powder/starch
- 1 TBSP EVOO/avocado oil
- 3 scallions - thin sliced with whites and greens separated
- 1 inch fresh ginger - peeled and grated OR 1 Dorot ginger pod for each inch of ginger
- 2 clove garlic - minced

- 2 TBSP rice vinegar
- 2 TBSP coconut aminos
- 2 TBSP real maple syrup

Instructions
- Cut chicken into 1" pieces and place inside of a large bowl with arrowroot starch and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat the chicken fully.
- Heat oil on medium in a large, heavy skillet. Once hot, brown chicken on both sides, in batches if necessary, for 3-4 minutes per side.
- Remove chicken and set aside. Add the white parts of the scallion, ginger and garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Add in the coconut hoisin, rice vinegar, coconut aminos, syrup, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes.
- Increase heat and bring the mixture to a boil, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet. Once the sauce has boiled and thickened up, add back the chicken and cook through until hot, about 1 more minute.
