Paleo Honey Sesame Chicken
Paleo Honey Sesame Chicken - the perfect easy Chinese "fakeout" recipe to cook when you are craving takeout! So much healthier than restaurant-style Chinese chicken dinners
Ingredients
For the chicken:
- 1 egg
- 1 cup tapioca flour
- 2-3 tbsp coconut oil I use THIS brand with no coconut flavor
- 1 chicken breast cut into bite sized pieces
Honey sesame sauce:
- 2 tbsp ketchup I use THIS brand of ketchup
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/3 cup coconut aminos found HERE
- 1 tsp sesame oil more if you love sesame flavor
- 1 tbsp honey I use THIS honey
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 3 scallions diced
Instructions
- Beat an egg in a bowl.
- Add the tapioca flour to a plate for dredging.
- Heat the coconut oil over medium heat.
- While it heats up, dip your pieces of chicken into the egg, then into the tapioca flour.
- Fry evenly on both sides until golden brown.
- For the sauce, combine everything except the scallions and garlic over low heat.
- I did this while my chicken cooked, stir it once in a while.
- It will thicken.
- Once it has thickened, add the garlic and cook until fragrant.
- Add the scallions but reserve some to sprinkle overtop.
- Toss the sauce and the chicken together.
- Serve with rice or cauliflower rice.
Notes
This recipe serves one but you can easily double or triple it and eat leftovers for lunch the next day.
