- 2 chicken breasts
- 2 medium carrots, sliced
- 1 head of broccoli, cut into bite-sized pieces
- optional: top with diced green onions, sesame seeds, or chopped cashews
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp garlic salt
- 1 tsp cracked black pepper
- 1 tsp powdered ginger
- optional: 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup coconut aminos
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar
- 2 tbsp almond butter
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp water
- 1 tsp powdered ginger
- optional: 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Combine the rub ingredients and rub onto the chicken breasts.
Place on a roasting pan lined with parchment paper and place in the oven for 20 minutes.
Next, in a medium pot add about 2 inches of water and add the carrots and broccoli. Simmer for about 10 minutes so you can pierce with a fork. Take these out when cooked and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the Asian Awesome Sauce and set aside.
When the chicken is cooked through, slice into bite-sized pieces and combine with the veggies. Add the desired amount of sauce on top and serve.
Tip: Cauliflower rice, white rice, or rice noodles are fine additions to the bottom of this dish.
