Instructions
- Heat the sesame and olive oils in a skillet over medium-high heat on the stove.

- In a separate bowl, mix together the chicken broth, soy sauce, brown sugar substitute, minced garlic and ginger paste until well combined.

- Sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.

Notes
If you would like, you can substitute refined coconut oil for the olive oil.
For Trim Healthy Mamas, this recipe would be a closer to a Fuel Pull than an S Fuel.
To make it a true FP, use 1-2 teaspoons of oil and reduce the amount of chicken to 12 ounces.
Serve it with cauliflower rice to keep it FP or S, or serve it with brown rice to enjoy it as an E.
