Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast
- 0.25 cup coconut aminos
- 2 tbsp erythritol
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 stalks green onions
- 0.5 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.5 tsp xanthan gum
- 0.5 cup water
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a large bowl, combine xanthan gum, salt, and black pepper. Toss the chicken strips into this mixture to coat evenly.
In a non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and sesame oil. Add minced garlic and grated ginger and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Pour the coconut aminos into the skillet, add erythritol, and stir until the erythritol is dissolved.
Add water and bring the sauce to a simmer. Let it cook slightly until it starts to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.
Return the chicken to the skillet, tossing to coat with the sauce. Allow the chicken to simmer in the sauce for another 2 minutes.
Add the chopped green onions and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
Serve hot, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
