Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.25 cup coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce (sugar-free)
• 2 tablespoons granulated monk fruit sweetener
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the sugar-free sweet chili sauce. In a small mixing bowl, combine coconut aminos, rice vinegar, chili garlic sauce, monk fruit sweetener, lime juice, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Stir well to combine and set aside.

Step 2

Prepare the chicken breasts by patting them dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate.

Step 4

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and pour in the prepared sweet chili sauce. Allow it to come to a gentle simmer.

Step 5

In a small bowl, create a cornstarch slurry by mixing the cornstarch and water until smooth. Slowly add the slurry to the simmering sauce, whisking continuously to thicken the sauce to your desired consistency (about 1-2 minutes).

Step 6

Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, flipping them to coat evenly with the sweet chili sauce. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 3-4 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 7

Serve the Sugar-Free Sweet Chili Chicken immediately, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired. Pair with steamed vegetables or cauliflower rice for a complete low-carb meal.
