Main Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cleaned + cut into 1-inch cubes
- 4 cups steamed broccoli or green beans
- 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil

- 2.5 cups Orange Juice
- 1/2 cup Chick
h Chicken Broth - 1/4 cup Coconut Aminos
- 3 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger
- 1 tablespoon Orange Zest

Instructions
- In a large frying pan, cook the cubed chicken in the toasted sesame oil until the edges are brown and slightly crispy (Approx 5-10 minutes)
- As the chicken is cooking, stir together the sauce mixture in a separate bowl
- Once the chicken is thoroughly cooked remove it from the pan and place it off to the side in a separate bowl.
- Pour the sauce mixture into the same pan you cooked the chicken in.
- Bring the sauce mixture to a boil for 15-20 minutes, stirring every minute or so until it starts to thicken. (You will know it has thickened when you scrape the pan and it pulls away from the pan)
- When the sauce thickens, add the cooked chicken back in + stir to coat the chicken
- Serve over steamed broccoli or green beans for a paleo option, or rice/quinoa.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds + enjoy!
