Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.25 cup almond flour
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 eggs
• 0.25 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
• 0.33 cup sugar-free honey-flavored syrup
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
• 2 sliced green onions (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the chicken by cutting the boneless, skinless thighs into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

In a bowl, mix almond flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat the two eggs together.

Step 4

First, dip the chicken pieces into the egg mixture, then coat them with the almond flour mixture.

Step 5

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Step 7

In a small saucepan, combine the sugar-free honey-flavored syrup, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over low heat.

Step 8

Allow the sauce to thicken slightly, stirring occasionally. This should take about 4-5 minutes.

Step 9

Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet and pour the sauce over the top, tossing to coat evenly.

Step 10

Sprinkle unsweetened coconut flakes over the chicken and let it gently toast while the chicken heats through, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 11

Transfer the chicken to a serving platter. If desired, garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy!
