INGREDIENTS :

1 tbsp olive oil, or coconut oil
1.5 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced into 1" cubes
1/2 tsp sea or kosher salt
1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
2 large carrots, shaved and sliced into 1/2" coins
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1 tbsp sesame seeds
Honey Garlic Stir Fry Sauce
6 tbsp coconut aminos
1/4 c honey
3 cloves garlic, smashed
2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
2 tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp cornstarch, or arrowroot powder for paleo

INSTRUCTIONS :

Make the Honey Garlic Sauce. Combine the coconut aminos, honey, garlic, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, and cornstarch in a blender. Blend until the sauce is smooth and the garlic is pulverized.
Heat a skillet over high heat. Add the oil and heat until it shimmers. Add the cubed chicken breast, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss in the fat. Saute, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink, 4-5 minutes.
Add the carrots to the skillet, then pour in the honey garlic sauce. Toss the chicken and carrots and bring the sauce to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is a thick, golden brown. Stir the chicken and vegetables occasionally. Test the chicken for doneness using an instant read thermometer; it's cooked through once it reaches 165°F.
Remove the honey garlic chicken from heat. Add the scallions and sesame seeds and toss to combine.
Serve the chicken over steamed white or brown rice, cauliflower rice, or your choice of noodles. Garnish with additional scallions and sesame seeds if desired and serve immediately. Leftover honey garlic chicken keeps in the refrigerator in a tightly sealed container for up to 5 days.
