Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons Erythritol
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, ground
- 1 tablespoon Vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Cut the chicken thighs into strips or bite-sized pieces for faster marination and cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine coconut aminos, erythritol, minced garlic, paprika, salt, black pepper, and vinegar to form the marinade.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, making sure each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight to enhance the flavor.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken pieces to the pan. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan, cooking in batches if necessary.
Cook the chicken for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and caramelized, with a nice golden brown color.
Serve the keto chicken tocino hot, garnished with your choice of low-carb vegetables or cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
