Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 0.25 cup soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 0.25 cup water
- 2 tablespoons granulated erythritol or stevia (keto-friendly sweetener)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional, for thickening)
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce (or coconut aminos), water, erythritol (or stevia), sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Mix well to create the marinade.
Step 3
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken along with all the marinade to the skillet.
Step 5
Cook the chicken, stirring occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes, or until fully cooked and no longer pink inside.
Step 6
If you want a thicker sauce, sprinkle xanthan gum evenly over the sauce. Stir well and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens to your liking.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Step 8
Serve hot, optionally paired with steamed broccoli or cauliflower rice for a complete keto meal.
