Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/2 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups cooked green beans
  • 1 cup cooked white rice
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken by cutting it into small cubes. Cook the white rice and green beans as per package instructions.
