Ingredients
  

  • 2 teaspoons avocado oil or coconut oil
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts Click HERE
  • Redmond Real salt to taste
  • 1/4 cup chicken bone broth
  • 1/4 cup Primal Kitchen Ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons Swerve Brown
  • 1 tablespoon tamari sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoon lime juice
  • ¼ teaspoon fresh ginger peeled and grated
  • 1 clove garlic minced

FOR GARNISH:

  • Sesame seeds
  • scallions sliced
  • Lime wedges

OPTIONAL SERVING:

  • Zero-Carb Fried Rice

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oil in a large wok or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the chicken pieces dry with a paper towel and season well on all sides with salt.
  • Fry the chicken in the hot oil until light golden brown on all sides, about 4 minutes. Remove the chicken from the wok and set aside.
  • Add the remaining ingredients to the wok and boil over medium heat until reduced and thickened, about 10 minutes.
  • Return the chicken to the wok and bring to a hard boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds, sliced scallions, and lime wedges.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chicken in a greased skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes or until warmed to your liking.
