Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken thighs, skinless and boneless
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons sugar-free honey or honey substitute
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon ginger, freshly grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sugar-free honey, rice vinegar, freshly grated ginger, and minced garlic until well combined.

Step 2

Add the chicken thighs to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for stronger flavor.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Remove chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off, and place the thighs in the hot skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 5

Remove the chicken thighs from the pan and set aside.

Step 6

Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet, bring to a simmer over medium heat, and cook for about 2-3 minutes until thickened slightly, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Return the chicken to the skillet, turning to coat in the sauce. Continue to cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 8

Drizzle with sesame oil and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Step 9

Enjoy your Low Carb Honey Soy Chicken with a side of steamed vegetables or cauliflower rice for a complete low-carb meal.
