Instructions
- Gather and prep ingredients.
- Start by adding orange juice, ginger, sesame oil, garlic, bone broth, vinegars, honey, tomato paste, chili powder, salt and pepper to a small pot.
- Bring to a rolling boil. Whisk occasionally to prevent burning or sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Continue to boil while we get the chicken started. Cube your chicken breasts, and set aside.
- Set up a shallow dish with your coconut flour for dredging.
- Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add in olive oil and allow to heat.
- While the pan is heating, dredge your chicken in the coconut flour. Working with a few cubes at a time, be sure to coat each side and shake off excess flour.
- Once all the chicken has been coated, add to your hot pan. Be sure to not overcrowd the chicken so you get a nice sear. You may need to do this in two batches.
- Sear on all sides 2-3 minutes a side or until the chicken has reached 165°F (73.8°C).
- By now your sauce should have reduced down to a quarter of the original amount and should be thick.
- In a large bowl add cooked chicken and toss with your orange sesame sauce until well coated.
- Top with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve immediately over Cilantro Lime Cauliflower ‘Rice’ (see related recipes) and enjoy!
