1½ lb (680 g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breast, cut into bite-size pieces
2 Tbsp(30 ml) avocado or olive oil
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ cup (60 ml) soy sauce or tamari

Instructions:

Heat the oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat while you are seasoning the chicken with salt and pepper.

Cook for about 5–7 minutes, turning, until golden and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set it aside.

Reduce the heat to medium.

Remove from the heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds and spring onions.

Serve immediately.
