1 Tbs Apple Cider Vinegar

1 Tsp Sesame Oil

½ Tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

½ Cup Cornstarch

2 Tbs Brown Sugar

In a small bowl, whisk honey, coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, sesame oil and red pepper flakes together, set the bowl aside.

Combine the cornstarch and brown sugar in a shallow bowl or on a rimmed plate. Place the whisked egg in a separate shallow bowl. Add the chicken to the egg, and then coat it in the cornstarch mixture. Set the chicken aside on a clean paper towel. Add the olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil has warmed, add the chili pepper, garlic and coated chicken.

Cook the chicken until slightly brown on all sides. Pour the honey sauce over the chicken, sauté 2-3 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet and simmer for 6-8 minutes. Top with the diced green onions and serve.
