Servings: 3 servings

1 Tbsp avocado oil
1 tsp toasted sesame oil optional
1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs about 4 thighs, chopped into bite-size pieces
4 cloves garlic minced
2 Tbsp rice vinegar
3 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp water
2 Tbsp liquid aminos or soy sauce or coconut aminos
sea salt to taste

Heat the avocado oil and toasted sesame oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the chopped chicken thighs in an even layer and let brown undisturbed for 3–4 minutes.
Stir the chicken and continue cooking until golden brown, about another 3–4 minutes, and season with a pinch of sea salt.
While the chicken cooks, whisk together the minced garlic, honey, water, rice vinegar, and liquid aminos in a small bowl; it’s okay if the honey is thick.
Pour the sauce into the skillet, stir to coat the chicken, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and most liquid has evaporated, about 8–10 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning with sea salt if needed, then serve with steamed rice or vegetables as desired.
