If you just started meal prepping, want a healthy high-protein meal, or are just craving Chinese food, this recipe is DEFINITELY worth trying:
Ingredients for the chicken:
-1 pound boneless chicken breast, cut into bite sized pieces
-1 egg, large
-1 tbsp xanthan gum (or arrowroot powder)
-1 tbsp sesame oil, toasted
-Salt and pepper
Ingredients for the sauce:
-2 tbsp coconut aminos (or gluten free soy sauce)
-1 tbsp sesame oil, toasted
-2 tbsp Swerve, Truvia, or another alternative sweetener
-1 tbsp vinegar, distilled
-1 tsp ginger powder -3/4 tbsp garlic powder
-2 tbsp sesame seeds
-1/4 tsp xanthan gum
Instructions:
1. Take a bowl, beat the egg and add a tablespoon of xanthan gum, mix well to make a batter.
2. Add in chicken breast pieces and coat them well.
3. Heat a large pan, add a tablespoon of oil and once hot, add the chicken breast pieces one by one to avoid sticking to each other.
4. Fry the chicken for about 10 minutes or until golden brown on both sides.
5. Meanwhile, combine all the sauce ingredients in a bowl to make the sauce.
6. When the chicken is cooked through, pour the sauce directly to the pan and stir to combine. Reduce the heat and cook for 5 minutes or until the sauce has reached your desired thickness.
7. Done! Take out from the pan, sprinkle with sesame seeds on the top and serve over cauliflower rice or broccoli.
I used cauliflour rice that was cooked with egg whites and everything bagel seasoning for some fire! 🔥
