Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
Sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 tbsp keto-friendly sweetener (such as erythritol or monk fruit sweetener)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tsp sesame oil (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, keto sweetener, minced garlic, grated ginger, and water. Stir well until the sweetener is dissolved.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and optionally add a small amount of oil. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to brown and are cooked through.
- Simmer in Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes until the sauce thickens, becomes sticky, and glazes the chicken evenly.
- Finish and Serve: Drizzle the sesame oil over the chicken for added flavor, toss to combine, and remove from heat. Serve immediately with your choice of low-carb sides like steamed vegetables or cauliflower rice.
Notes
- Use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free option.
- Adjust the amount of sweetener to taste depending on your preferred sweetness level.
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the sauce for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Serve with steamed broccoli or cauliflower rice for a complete keto meal.
- Make sure to simmer on low heat to prevent the sauce from burning as it thickens.
