Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Tapioca flour
  • 1 teaspoon White pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Sea salt
  • 3 tablespoons Coconut oil
  • 4 medium Green onions (sliced)

Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons Hot water
  • 2 tablespoons Tapioca flour
  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1 1-inch piece Fresh ginger (minced)

  1. Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces and toss with the tapioca, white pepper, and salt.

  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil over high heat. Working in batches, cook the chicken for 2 minutes per side, just until a golden crust forms. It will still be raw in the middle!

  3. In a slow cooker, whisk together the sauce ingredients and toss in the chicken. Stir to coat and cook on low for 2 hours. Just before serving, stir in the green onions.
