Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh lemongrass
  • 2 garlic cloves grated or finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon sugar-free honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil

Instructions
 

  • Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces or small strips, about three quarters of an inch in size.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, fish sauce, lemongrass, garlic, sugar-free honey, and lime juice until well combined.
  • Add the chicken to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight for deeper flavor.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the avocado oil.
  • Arrange the marinated chicken in a single layer and allow it to cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes to develop color.
  • Stir occasionally and continue cooking for a total of 7 to 9 minutes, until the chicken is golden and fully cooked through.
  • Remove from heat and serve as desired.
