Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs or breast

  • ½ cup coconut aminos or soy sauce
  • 1 small garlic clove, grated
  • ¼ teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 2 cups cooked white rice

Instructions

  1. On a large cutting board pound the chicken to ¼ inch thickness using a meat tenderizer. Place the chicken in a large gallon size zip bag.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, coconut aminos, garlic, and ginger. Add the sauce to the chicken and seal. Toss to combine. Refrigerate the chicken for 30 minutes to 2 hours to marinate, or overnight for a stronger flavor.

  4. Pour the reserved marinade in the skillet and bring to a low boil. Reduce the heat to low, and simmer for about 2 minutes or until the sauce is thickened. Remove the skillet from heat and add the chicken. Toss to combine.
  5. Steam broccoli and with chicken. Toss to combine.
