Marinade:

3 chicken breasts, cut into chunks
3 TBSP gluten free soy sauce [Tamari is what we use]
1 tsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp salt

Sauce:

3 TBSP sesame oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp grated ginger
2 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup corn starch
2 TBSP rice wine vinegar
3/4 cup honey
2 TBSP gluten free soy sauce

3 TBSP coconut oil for frying [can sub light olive oil or other mild flavored veg oil]
sesame seeds for garnish
2-3 scallions cut up for garnish

Mix marinade, add the chicken, stir it up well, and let it sit while you prepare the sauce.

Add sesame oil, garlic, and ginger to a sauce pan and let it heat up just until the ginger and garlic are fragrant [don't over cook or the garlic gets bitter].     In a bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, corn starch, rice wine vinegar, honey, and soy sauce until well combined.  Add to the sauce pan with the sesame oil, garlic and ginger.  Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.   Set aside.

Melt the coconut oil in a heavy skillet.   Add the marinated chicken and cook on med-high heat until chicken is done.  

Mix the chicken and the sauce.  Serve over rice with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and scallions.
