Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp chili garlic sauce
  • 1 tbsp erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp xanthan gum optional
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • Sesame seeds

Equipment

  • Medium bowl
  • whisk
  • large skillet
  • Spoon
  • Measuring spoons
  • Measuring cups
  • Grater
  • knife
  • cutting board

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together coconut aminos, rice vinegar, chili garlic sauce, sweetener, sesame oil, and xanthan gum (if using). Set aside.
  2. Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the ground chicken and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease.
  4. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
  5. Pour the sauce over the chicken and stir to coat evenly.
  6. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  7. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more chili garlic sauce for spice, sweetener for sweetness, or rice vinegar for tang.
  8. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

Serve over cauliflower rice, use as a filling for lettuce wraps, add to a low-carb salad, or enjoy as a topping for zucchini noodles. For a spicier dish, increase the amount of chili garlic sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
