Paleo Sesame Chicken

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb Chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1/4 cup Arrowroot flour
• 2 tbsp Sesame oil
• 1/4 cup Coconut aminos
• 2 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Ginger, minced
• 2 tbsp Sesame seeds
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1/4 tsp Black pepper

Instructions

1. 1In a medium bowl, combine the 1.5 lb chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch cubes) with the 1/4 cup arrowroot flour, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Toss everything together until the chicken pieces are evenly coated.
2. 2Place a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the 2 tbsp sesame oil and let it heat up until it shimmers, which should take about 1 minute.
3. 3Carefully add the coated chicken to the hot skillet. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, turning the pieces occasionally, until they are browned on all sides and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
4. 4While the chicken is cooking, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup coconut aminos, 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 tsp minced ginger until well combined.
5. 5Once the chicken is cooked through, pour the prepared sauce over it in the skillet. Stir gently to ensure all the chicken pieces are coated in the sauce.
6. 6Continue to cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce has thickened slightly and coats the chicken nicely.
7. 7Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle the 2 tbsp sesame seeds over the chicken and stir once more to distribute them.
