Ingredients
- 3–4 chicken breasts
- 1/3 cup of chicken or vegetable broth
- 1/3 cup of coconut aminos
- 2 tbsp of arrowroot flour
- 2 tsp of raw honey (optional)

- Reduce heat and let simmer for a few minutes while stirring to allow the sauce to thicken. Remove from heat and combine the shredded chicken with the sauce.
Notes
This dish is one of my FAVORITE things to include in my weekly meal prep. Throughout the week I use it for a variety of lunches and dinners such as paired with rice and avocado, in a grain-free tortilla with avocado, cilantro, and lime, and with roasted sweet potato and green beans (yum!).
