Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground Chicken provides protein and a tender texture
- 1/2 Tbsp Chili Oil adds a layer of warmth and flavor
- 1/2 C Swerve Brown Sugar contributes sweetness and depth
- 1/4 C Buffalo Sauce brings acidity and heat
- 2 Tbsp Cider or Rice Vinegar adds brightness and balances flavors
- 1 tsp Ground Ginger offers warmth and earthiness
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder enhances flavor with savory notes
- 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt brings out the other flavors
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper provides mild heat
- 1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes adds a bit of spice and texture
Instructions
Cooking
- Begin by heating a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add the chili oil.
- Carefully add the ground chicken to the skillet, spreading it out evenly. Cook it for about 3-4 minutes on one side until golden.
- Turn the chicken over and allow it to cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until fully cooked through.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients: Swerve brown sugar, buffalo sauce, cider or rice vinegar, ground ginger, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- Once the chicken is fully cooked, pour the prepared sauce over it in the skillet. Stir to combine.
- Continue to cook for a few minutes until the sauce reduces and thickens, clinging nicely to the chicken.
Notes
Serve over rice or cauliflower rice. Consider using in breakfast burritos or salads. Adjust spice levels to taste and garnish with scallions for added flavor.
