Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons keto-friendly honey substitute
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, keto-friendly honey substitute, minced garlic, minced ginger, and sesame oil. Stir well until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.

Step 2

Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and coat them well with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.

Step 3

Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Reserve the marinade for later use.

Step 5

Place the chicken thighs in the skillet and sear them on both sides until they are golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes per side.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and pour the reserved marinade over the chicken.

Step 7

Cover the skillet and let the chicken simmer in the sauce for an additional 10 to 12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

If using red pepper flakes, sprinkle them over the chicken for a slight heat kick.

Step 9

Garnish the chicken with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

Step 10

Serve the Keto Honey Soy Chicken hot and enjoy!
