    • 1 8 oz can water chestnuts, diced⁣
    • ¼ cup chopped green onion⁣
    • 1 tablespoon avocado oil⁣

    3. While that’s cooking, prepare the sauce by whisking together above sauce ingredients.
    4. Pour the sauce into the chicken mixture and then let it cook for another few minutes, so the sauce thickens.
