Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 5 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
• 2 tablespoons Sugar-free honey substitute
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Begin by trimming any excess fat from the chicken thighs and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until it becomes fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sugar-free honey substitute, apple cider vinegar, and water.

Step 5

Pour the soy sauce mixture into the skillet with the garlic. Stir well, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 6

Increase the heat to medium and let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes or until it has thickened slightly.

Step 7

Return the chicken to the skillet, toss to coat them in the sauce, and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors.

Step 8

Season the chicken with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 9

Garnish the finished dish with chopped green onions and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

Step 10

Serve the Low Carb Honey Garlic Chicken immediately, ideally with a side of steamed vegetables or cauliflower rice for a complete low-carb meal.
