Instructions

Lightly season the chicken with salt and let it rest for 10–15 minutes before patting dry.
In a wok or large skillet over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil. Add chicken and cook for approximately 5–7 minutes until browned and fully cooked. Remove from pan and set aside.
Using the same pan, add the remaining coconut oil. Sauté onion for about 3–4 minutes until translucent. Introduce bell peppers, garlic, and ginger; cook for an additional 2–3 minutes.
Deglaze the pan with soy sauce. Stir in chilled rice, honey, pineapple, and cooked chicken. Toss together well and reduce heat to low; cook for about 5 minutes while stirring occasionally.
Finally, add frozen peas and lime juice; stir gently to combine. Serve hot topped with green onions and sesame seeds.
