Sesame Chicken Bowls
A quick, better-than-takeout chicken bowl that is truly crave-worthy! I could enjoy this every day.
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Total time: 25 minutes
Servings: 2-3
Notes: High Protein, Gluten-Free. Best serve over rice, cauliflower rice, or in lettuce wraps.
Ingredients
1 package ground chicken
1/4 cup green onions (chopped)
Sesame Chicken Sauce
1/3 cup tamari or soy sauce
1/3 cup honey
3 tbsp ketchup
2 tsp rice vinegar
6-7 cloves minced garlic
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp toasted sesame oil
sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together tamari (or soy sauce), honey, ketchup, rice vinegar, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and sesame oil until smooth. Then set aside.
Heat avocado oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the ground chicken, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Stir frequently and cook until browned and fully cooked through.
Pour the prepared sauce into the pan with the cooked chicken. Stir well to evenly coat the chicken in the sauce. Allow it to simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly. Add in green onion and stir.
Serve over a bed of steamed rice or add to lettuce wraps. Sprinkle with more chopped green onions and garnish with sesame seeds.
Breakfast Cookies
A wholesome breakfast cookie that even my picky toddler enjoys! It's perfect for busy mornings when you need something quick to grab and go.
