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!
