ingredients

01.

Marinate the Chicken (or Beef)

Add the ingredients for the marinade to a small blender or food processor and process until a thick paste forms.

Transfer the raw chicken and the marinade to a large zip lock bag or a large mixing bowl. Seal (or cover with plastic wrap) and allow the chicken to marinate for at least 1 hour, ideally 3 to 10 hours.

02.

Cook the Chicken (or Beef)

03.

Heat 2 to 3 tablespoons of avocado oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken in a single layer for 6-8 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 180 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.

04.

Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board and allow it to rest for 10 minutes. Use a sharp knife to chop the chicken into thin strips or cubes.

05.

Make the Rice

Pour several tablespoons of avocado oil in a saucepan and place it on the stove top over medium heat. Add the uncooked white rice and sauté, stirring occasionally, until it becomes fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
