Cooking Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine cornstarch, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well mixed. Cut chicken into bite-sized cubes and toss in the mixture.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add avocado oil. Once shimmering, add coated chicken and cook for 10-16 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Whisk together honey, tomato paste, tamari, sesame oil, ground ginger, and salt in a small bowl. Reserve ¼ cup for later use.
  4. Once chicken is golden and fully cooked, pour sauce over and toss gently to coat completely.
  5. In the same skillet, add additional avocado oil, and toss in snow peas and halved Brussels sprouts. Stir-fry for about 15 minutes.
  6. Add shredded carrots to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for an additional 4-5 minutes.
  7. Prepare jasmine rice according to package directions, typically around 15 minutes, and mix in lime juice before serving.
  8. Start assembling the bowls with rice at the bottom, add sautéed vegetables, top with honey sesame chicken, and drizzle with reserved sauce.
