Instructions

 

• Heat a skillet over medium heat, then add the avocado oil. Add the sweet onion and cook until translucent.
• Next, add the ground chicken and saute until cooked through.

  In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and bone broth. Set aside.

  In another small bowl, whisk together the remaining sauce ingredients: tamari, honey, sesame oil, sriracha, and sesame seeds.
• Once the ground chicken is cooked through, add in the basil, green onions, and garlic.

  Saute for 1-2 minutes until the basil has wilted and the garlic and onions are fragrant.
• Pour the sauce and the cornstarch slurry into the pan and stir everything together until the chicken is fully coated in the sauce.

  Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce is hot and has thickened.

  Serving suggestion: Serve over rice cooked in broth.
