A Paleo Sticky Sesame Chicken Thigh recipe that is made in one pan for a quick and easy weeknight meal! Serve over cauliflower rice for a full ‘take-out’ style meal any night of the week. Gluten-free.
20 minutes. That’s all you need to make this super easy paleo Sticky Sesame Chicken Thigh recipe. What? Take-out in 20 minutes. Yes, that’s right! It takes less time to make this than to open up the take-out menu, decide what you want to eat, order and wait for it to arrive (or go and pick it up). It’s like a dream come true! Especially when your craving for Asian inspired meals kicks in.
I have had some serious cravings for Chinese food lately – weird for me. I know! Orange chicken and beef and broccoli are my favorite take out dishes! And other than low carb orange chicken and apricot sesame shrimp and chicken, I really don’t have any Asian inspired meals on the blog. Which means, now that I have this Paleo Sticky Sesame Chicken Thigh recipe, I need to tackle some beef and broccoli next!
My freezer is always stocked with meat — and most definitely chicken thighs! I will admit that I have totally turned from a chicken breast girl to a chicken thigh girl. The flavor is just 1000 times better! But, this recipe would work perfectly with chicken breast or even chicken wings!
Serve this over some cauliflower rice (or jasmine rice if you aren’t paleo) and you have yourself one super easy, quick and healthy take out meal in a matter of minutes! Oh, and did I mention freakin’ delicious!!!

#Paleo Sticky Sesame Chicken in less than 20 minutes! Yum!!
Those big, tender, juicy pieces of chicken are sooooo good! And the sauce…..don’t even get me started!
A beautiful and healthy meal done in a single pan. There are a few kitchen gadgets I use all the time, like my spiralizer, this pan, my saute pan and my cast iron skillet. Pretty much anything that allows me to make a meal in a single pan is a win — did someone say less clean up? ?
But, I will tell you that out of all of the gadgets the American Kitchen Cookware 12-in Non-Stick Casserole Pan is one of my favorites because it cooks everything so evenly and of course, is easy to clean up! Also, American Kitchen Cookware is a top of the line product! Why do you ask?
