Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp sesame oil (check that it's pure sesame, no soy)
  • 1 one-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
  • 10 whole peeled garlic cloves
  • 4 green onions, trimmed and sliced (white and green parts)
  • salt, pepper and red pepper flakes to taste
  • 1 ½ pounds chicken breasts or thighs, cubed
  • 1 cup dry white wine or rice wine
  • 1 cup coconut aminos

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat.
  • Add ginger, garlic and green onions, season with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  • Add chicken and cook through until lightly brown, about 10 minutes.
  • Add wine and coconut aminos and bring to a boil.
  • Lower heat to medium low (keeping liquid at a simmer).
  • Cook uncovered for about 15 minutes or until liquid has reduced by half.
  • Remove to a serving bowl with a slotted spoon, serving extra sauce on the side.
  • Garnish with basil and more red pepper flakes and serve over white rice.

To make it a freezer meal:

  • Place all ingredients listed above plus one extra tbsp of sesame oil into a freezer bag or other freezer-safe container, seal, move ingredients around until chicken is coated, and freeze for up to three months.
  • Thaw in the refrigerator, pour into a saute pan and cook until chicken is cooked through and registers 165 degrees on a meat thermometer.
