Keto Orange Chicken

Yield: 4

Author: Emily

Prep time: 10 MinCook time: 30 MinTotal time: 40 Min

Ingredients

• Oil for frying, we like avocado oil
• 1 pound of chicken breast cut into 1-2 inch pieces
• 1 serving of Keto Pancake Mix (we use highkey but any will do)
• ⅔ cup Smuckers Sugar-Free Orange Marmalade
• 2 tablespoons Chili Garlic Sauce: (use 1 if you want it less spicy!)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
• 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce or Coconut Aminos
• 1 ½ cup chicken broth
• ½ teaspoon Xanthan Gum
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar

Instructions

1. Add chicken broth to a pan with the Orange Marmalade, chili garlic sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, and rice wine vinegar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer.
2. Cook for around 10 minutes on low.
3. Mix your salt with your xanthan gum in a dish so it distributes evenly.
4. Turn off the heat and quickly sprinkle the xanthan gum salt mixture while whisking it to combine it. Set aside and let it cool off and thicken.
5. Coat your chicken in the keto pancake mix by dipping the pieces into it. If you have a hard time coating the chicken, pat them dry first, then lightly dust them in a little more of the dry pancake mix just so the wet batter has something to stick to.
6. On medium heat, fry your chicken until golden brown and until the internal temp is 165 degrees. With small pieces like this, it should take around 5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
7. Lightly drizzle the sauce over the chicken pieces. A little goes a long way with this recipe!

Nutritional information is an estimate.

Carb count depends on how much sauce you use. I only use a couple of tablespoons on a serving. The carbs in this recipe mainly come from the marmalade.
