Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup honey
- 0.25 cup coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 3 stalks green onions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Directions
Step 1
Mince the garlic and grate the ginger. Set them aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix honey, coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine the marinade ingredients.
Step 3
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a medium-sized bowl and pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is well coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Step 4
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated chicken pieces. Reserve the remaining marinade.
Step 5
Cook the chicken until it is golden brown on all sides and fully cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
Step 6
Pour the reserved marinade over the chicken in the skillet. Bring it to a simmer and reduce the heat to low. Allow the sauce to thicken and glaze the chicken, which should take roughly 5-8 minutes.
Step 7
Slice the green onions and sprinkle them over the chicken just before serving. Garnish with sesame seeds.
Step 8
Serve immediately while the chicken is hot and enjoy your Paleo Honey Chicken!
