2 tablespoons Avocado oil Can substitute with grape seed or olive oil.
1 tablespoon Toasted sesame oil Use regular sesame oil if toasted isn't available.
¼ cup Coconut aminos Low-sodium soy sauce can be used as a replacement.
2 tablespoons Honey For vegan, use maple syrup or agave.
1 tablespoon Rice vinegar Substitute with apple cider vinegar if needed.
1 tablespoon Sriracha Chili paste works well as an alternative.
2 cloves Garlic Optional; fresh is best.

Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add avocado oil, allowing it to warm up for about 1 minute.
Add garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for approximately 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F).
In a separate bowl, whisk together coconut aminos, honey, rice vinegar, and sriracha until smooth.
Pour the sauce over the cooked chicken in the skillet, stir to coat well, and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Plate your Healthy Sesame Chicken and serve it with steamed brown rice and seasonal vegetables.

Optional: Garnish with sesame seeds before serving.
