Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground Chicken lean texture
- 1/2 Tbsp Chili Oil adds spice and moisture
Flavoring Ingredients
- 1/2 C Swerve Brown Sugar for sweetness
- 1/4 C Buffalo Sauce for tangy flavor
- 2 Tbsp Cider or Rice Vinegar for acidity
- 1 tsp Ground Ginger for aromatic warmth
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder for savory depth
- 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt enhances flavor
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper for mild heat
- 1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes for an extra kick
Instructions
Cooking
- Begin by heating a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chili oil.
- Once the oil is hot, add in the ground chicken. Brown the chicken on both sides for 3-4 minutes each, chopping or mincing it as it cooks.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Swerve brown sugar, buffalo sauce, cider or rice vinegar, ground ginger, garlic powder, kosher salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- After the chicken is cooked and browned, pour the sauce mixture into the skillet and stir to coat the chicken.
- Cook until the sauce thickens and is syrupy, clinging nicely to the chicken.
- Serve warm, garnished with scallions and toasted sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
Adjust the spice level as preferred, don't overcrowd the pan for even browning, and whisk the sauce thoroughly for uniform flavor. Use fresh ingredients for better taste.
