2 tsp ginger (grated)

1 clove garlic (grated)

1 tbsp coconut aminos

1 tbsp coconut aminos

1 bunch broccolini (trimmed)

1 medium carrot (shredded)

Directions

To marinate the chicken thighs, use a medium bowl, add the chicken thighs along with the coconut aminos, avocado oil, honey, ginger, garlic, lime, and salt and pepper. Transfer to the fridge an marinate for at least 30 minutes, and up to an hour. Prep the broth while the chicken marinates.

To cook the broth, add the seasame oil to a pot set to low heat. Add the garlic and ginger and saute for 2 minutes. Add the broth, lime juice, coconut aminos, and salt and pepper. Simmer covered on low heat for at least 30 minutes. The broth should be warm and flavorful!

To cook the chicken, using a large, deep pan, heat about 1 tbsp of avocado oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and allow to cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through to 175 F. Set aside on a covered plate to keep warm.

To cook the vegetables, add 1 tbsp of coconut aminos to the pan and scrape the bottom with a wooden spoon to deglaze the pan. Add the vegetables and saute for 4-5 minutes or until tender. Lightly season with salt and pepper and set aside with the chicken.

To serve, slice the chicken thighs into strips and place them in a bowl. Add some of the vegetables, half a cup of rice, and a few large spoonfulls of the warm ginger broth. Top with green onion and a smalldrizzle of seasame oil. Repeat for three more bowls, or store the rest as leftovers for 2-3 days.
