Ingredients

4 servings

For the chicken

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1 ½-inch pieces
3 tbsp arrowroot starch, divided
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
3 tbsp avocado oil, divided

For the sauce

¼ cup tamari
3 tbsp honey
Chef's tip
Use the same amount. Maple syrup is a little thinner and less sticky than honey.
2 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
1 tsp arrowroot starch
½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes

For the aromatics

1 tbsp avocado oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
Chef's tip
Swap it in for an equal amount of the oil or butter the recipe cooks with - do not add it on top of the existing fat.
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
4 dried red chiles, stemmed

For serving

3 green onions (green tops only), thinly sliced
Ingredient note
The green parts of scallions are low in FODMAPs. Avoid the white bulb which is higher in FODMAPs.
1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

1
In a large bowl, toss the chicken pieces with 3 tbsp arrowroot starch, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
2
In a small bowl, whisk together the tamari, honey, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, 1 tsp arrowroot starch, and red pepper flakes until smooth. Set aside.
