Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Chicken Breast (skinless, boneless, cut up)
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 tsp Xanthan Gum (or as needed)
  • ½ cup Carbalose
  • 3 tbsp oil
  • 1 tsp Orange Zest
  • ¼ cup Orange Juice
  • 3 tbsp Sugar Free Orange Marmalade
  • 3 tbsp Rice Vinegar
  • 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 1 tsp Sesame Oil
  • 1 tsp Xanthan Gum
  • 2 Garlic Cloves (minced)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken by cutting it into bite-sized pieces if it has not been done yet. Also mince your garlic to get it ready for adding to the sauce.
  2. Create a two shallow bowl dredging station: whisk the eggs in one bowl and whisk together flour alternative and xanthan gum in the second bowl.
  3. Preheat your skillet with oil on medium-high heat. Dip the first piece of chicken in the egg mixture then dredge it in the flour mix, shaking off any excess.
  4. Cook the chicken in the heated skillet until browned and no longer pink inside. Line a plate or rimmed baking sheet with paper towels. When each piece is done cooking, place them onto paper towels to drain excess oil.
  5. Use a clean whisk to combine together all remaining ingredients to make the sauce. Once chicken is cooked, transfer sauce into skillet and cook until thickened, whisking as necessary.
  6. Turn heat down to low and add cooked chicken back into skillet. Cook until warm and ensure all chicken pieces are fully coated with sauce.
  7. Top with optional sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving with cauliflower rice or as desired.
