Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix coconut aminos, broth, lime juice, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes until combined. In another jar, create a slurry with 2 tablespoons of broth and tapioca flour; set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced chicken seasoned with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown on both sides (about 30-60 seconds per side) and remove from the pan.
