Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sugar-free sweetener (like erythritol or monk fruit)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, freshly grated
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Cut the chicken thighs into evenly sized chunks for quicker cooking.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together soy sauce, sugar-free sweetener, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Whisk until well combined.
Place chicken pieces in the bowl and marinate for at least 10 minutes, ensuring the chicken is well coated.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken, reserving the marinade, and cook for about 8-10 minutes, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet and bring to a gentle simmer.
Sprinkle xanthan gum over the sauce to thicken. Stir continuously until the sauce has thickened and coats the chicken evenly.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
