Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Marinate the Chicken Thighs by combining coconut aminos, toasted sesame oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, ginger, and onion powder in a bowl. Add chicken thighs and coat well, then let marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. If not non-stick, add a touch of oil.
  3. Cook the marinated chicken thighs flat-side down for 5 minutes until seared, then flip and cook another 5 minutes until fully cooked.
  4. Flip the chicken thighs again to coat with sauce and cook for an additional minute before removing them from the skillet.
  5. Sauté green beans in the same skillet with remaining marinade and red pepper flakes for 3-5 minutes until vibrant and tender-crisp.
  6. Serve the chicken thighs and green beans in meal prep containers and cool slightly before sealing.
