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
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Secret teriyaki sauce/hoisin sauce - OR other gluten-free hoisin sauce
  • 2 TBSP rice vinegar
  • 2 TBSP coconut aminos
  • 2 TBSP real maple syrup
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

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.
  • Serve chicken immediately with sauce from the skillet over fried cauliflower rice and top with green parts of the scallions and sesame seeds.
