1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar 1/2 tbso braggs amino 1 tsp approved oil or spray

In a bowl whisk together the aminos, baking soda and apple cider vinegar and then add in the chunks of chicken and stir to ensure that they are all well coated in the liquid.

Heat the 2T oil in a pan on medium high heat. Add in the chopped ginger and garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
In a bowl whisk together the stevia, apple cider vinegar, aminos, tomato paste, chili flakes and chicken stock.
Pour the sauce into the pan with the garlic and ginger mixture.
Increase the heat to high and leave the sauce to simmer for 10 minutes until it has reduce by half and thickened.
While the sauce is simmering, finish making the chicken.
Heat 1t oil or spray in a large skillet or wok on medium high heat.
Working in batches add in the chicken (making sure not to overcrowd the pan) and cook for approximately 3 minutes per side until golden in colour.
Once cooked set the chicken naside on a plate and continue cooking the remaining chicken
(I also add peppers and onions and saute or roast them, with broccoli even)
Once the chicken is all cooked, add it to the pan with the sauce, sprinkle with the sesame seeds and toss to ensure the chicken is all well coated. Garnish with chopped scallions before serving.
Can serve over Cauli rice, with roasted veggies, etc

I would check out her OG recipe-though many things aren't allowed on the R1 Restoration Wellness plan, she has some great tips and tricks and educaction on her recipe I found helpful!
You will see I adjusted the size of the chicken to make 2 R1 servings, but I kept the sauce the same to make enough to cover veggies, cauli rice etc.
