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!
