Calories: 259kcal
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ lbs skinless boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 3 tbsp brown sugar substitute or Erythritol
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil or butter
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tsp fresh ginger peeled and minced
- 2 cups broccoli florets lightly steamed
- 1/4 tsp Xanthan gum optional
To Garnish
- sesame seeds
- green onions chopped
Instructions
- In a large non-stick pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken to the pan and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, stirring occasionally until the chicken is cooked through. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce (or coconut aminos), brown sugar substitute (or erythritol), rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar), sesame oil (or butter), and xanthan gum (if using). Set aside.
- Pour the sauce mixture into the pan and allow it to simmer. Stir constantly for about 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Combine the sauce with the cooked chicken. Add in the steamed broccoli and stir to coat everything evenly with the sauce.
- Serve warm, topped with chopped green onion, sesame seeds, and cauliflower rice.
Notes
- Sauce Consistency: If you prefer a thicker sauce, don’t skip the xanthan gum. It will give the sauce a nice, glossy finish.
- Flavor Boost: Toast the sesame seeds before using them as a garnish to enhance their nutty flavor.
- Gluten-Free Option: Remember to use tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce if you need the recipe to be gluten-free.
