Paleo Chinese Honey Chicken

So as my pregnancy progresses, my blog posts become less frequent. I'm 36 weeks today so you can imagine how unmotivated and tired I am. I can however say with the utmost confidence that a paleo pregnancy is the best pregnancy you are ever going to get! So now onward to the recipe. My hubby loves Chinese food and my boys enjoy it quite a bit too. We do allow the occasional gluten free splurge at Pei Wei, but I know that's not the best option. So here is another recipe to help soothe your Chinese take out cravings.




Paleo Chinese Honey Chicken

6 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
Coconut oil
Salt & pepper

Sauce ingredients
3 tbsp sesame oil (or other nut oil)
2 tbsp freshly grated ginger
9 cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp cider vinegar
1 tbsp coconut aminos
1/2 cup water
2 tsp arrowroot mixed with 1.5 tbsp water
