- ½ cup liquid aminos
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- 1 tbsp honey

Instructions
- In a small pot over medium heat, combine: Liquid aminos, rice vinegar, coconut sugar, honey, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, red chili flakes, arrowroot powder, and water. Stir and bring to a gentle boil until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- Once the sauce is cool, divide it in half. Add chicken to one half and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes. Set the other half of the sauce aside to use later.
- In a bowl, combine: Broccoli slaw, chopped cilantro, and green onions.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the slaw dressing ingredients. Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss to coat. Set aside.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat with a little avocado oil. Cook the marinated chicken for about 5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Once done, pour the reserved marinade over the cooked chicken and let it warm through. Note: if the sauce starts to burn add a small amount of water. You should never see smoke
- Assemble Your Bowl. Start with a base of cauliflower rice or white rice. Add sliced chicken on top and drizzle with extra sauce. Serve with a scoop of broccoli slaw and sliced avocado on the side.
