Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 ½ tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 tablespoons Swerve brown sugar substitute
- 2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
- 3 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon salt
Procedure
- Heat the sesame oil on medium heat. Once hot add the chicken and carrot. Cook until the chicken is firm and cooked through. Drain off any excess liquid.
- In a small bowl, combine all ingredients except sesame seeds and green onion. Whisk until smooth and pour over the cooked chicken. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1 minute, or until thick and chicken is coated. Stir in the sesame seeds. Remove from heat and top with green onion. Serve over brown rice or quinoa, if desired. In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium heat.
- Add the chicken to the hot oil and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring regularly, until browned on all sides. Reduce the heat to low, and add in the soy sauce, minced garlic, remaining 1 teaspoon of ground ginger, water, brown sugar twin, and vinegar.
- Stir well and continue cooking for an additional 4 to 5 minutes, until the sauce is thickened, and the chicken pieces are fully cooked.
- Add the sesame seeds, then stir to coat.
- Serve with rice and vegetables.
