INGREDIENTS
- 1 pound chicken breast or thighs sliced into thin strips
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon white pepper or black
- 2 cloves garlic finely diced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
- 3 cups Napa cabbage cut into about 2 inch size pieces
- 1 large carrot sliced into matchsticks
- 2 tablespoons chicken broth low-sodium
- 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons lime juice freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- green onions for garnish
- sesame seeds black and white, for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS
- Heat the oil. Add a tablespoon of olive oil (or avocado oil) to a large frying pan or wok over high heat.
- Cook the chicken. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken and season with salt and white pepper. Cook for about 3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside, keeping the juices.
- Sauté the aromatics. Return the pan to the heat, then add the garlic and ginger. Add a drizzle of cooking oil if needed. Sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- Add the veggies. Toss in the cabbage and carrots, stirring frequently. Cook for about 2 minutes until they're tender-crisp.
- Make the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together chicken broth, soy sauce, maple syrup, lime juice, and sesame oil.
- Combine everything. Return the cooked chicken to the pan and pour in the sauce. Stir everything together and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Serve and garnish. Remove from heat, top with green onions and sesame seeds, and serve immediately.
