Ingredients
· 1/3 cup brown sugar replacement
· 1/4 cup rice vinegar
· 2 Tbsp minced garlic, or more to taste
· 2 tablespoons soy sauce
· 2 tablespoons sugar-free ketchup
· 1 Tbsp grated ginger
· 2 teaspoons hot sauce, or to taste
· 1 tsp cornstarch
· 1 Tbsp cold water
· 12 oz chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces (see notes)
· Cooking spray
· Sliced scallions, for garnish, optional
· Sesame seeds, for garnish, optional
Directions
1. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar replacement, rice vinegar, garlic, soy sauce, ketchup, ginger, and hot sauce. Set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water. Add in the chicken, toss to coat, and set aside 10 minutes.
3. Coat a medium sauté pan with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add in the chicken, using a fork or slotted spoon to keep any excess water from the pan. Allow the chicken to sit undisturbed until it browns, 3-4 minutes, then flip the meat and cook another 3-4 minutes until browned.
4. Add the sauce to the chicken. Cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes.
5. Allow the chicken to rest about 5 minutes before serving over rice, cauliflower rice, broccoli, or however you prefer to serve it. Add optional sliced scallions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Notes
· You can cut up some pork tenderloin in place of the chicken.
· You can replace the cut chicken with whole chicken breasts, butterflied chicken breast, chicken cutlets, or center-cut pork chops. Cook your choice of meat as you normally would, then remove it to a plate. Add the sauce to the pan and cook until reduced, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat, add the meat and any drippings back to the pan, and cover for about 5 minutes to warm the meat.
· Bites, points, calories, and macros do not include the optional garnishes.
