  1. 1

    Prep your chicken by cutting into small cubes. Cook white rice and green beans according to directions.

    In a pan, heat avocado oil for 1 minute. Add chicken to the pan and sauté chicken over medium high heat until browned on all sides, approximately 10-12 minutes.

    While chicken is cooking, whisk together the sauce.

    Once chicken is cooked, remove from the pan + set aside.
